About this award
This contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, will fund research into the dynamics of the winter polar vortex on Mars through analysis of 6.6 Martian years of observations by the Mars Climate Sounder. The $296,460 grant contract, awarded by NASA on October 1, 2021, will study three types of atmospheric waves: baroclinic waves, stationary waves, and thermal tides. The research seeks to enhance understanding of the Martian climate system. This award is not associated with a set-aside program. The SETI Institute holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA Headquarters, valued at $4.7 million, to provide technical support services related to planetary protection compliance throughout the lifecycle of spaceflight hardware. The Institute has received numerous grant awards from NASA and the National Science Foundation to conduct research in astrobiology, planetary science, and astronomy.
Description
We will investigate the dynamics of the winter polar vortex through analysis of 6.6 mars years (MYS) of observations by the mars climate sounder (MCS). Three types of atmospheric wave will be studied: baroclinic waves, slow waves that appear at
