About this award

The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, operating as Stony Brook University, received a $455,929 research grant award on August 19, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2026. This civilian-agency funded research initiative aims to quantitatively understand the spectral effects of thin dust coatings on rock and coarse particulate surfaces in simulated airless body environments, and to correlate these spectral characteristics with the thermophysical properties of those surfaces. The work will be performed at Stony Brook University's campus in Stony Brook, New York. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition for the contract.

This grant represents part of Stony Brook University's broader portfolio of federally-funded research across multiple scientific disciplines. As a major public research institution, RFSUNY has established significant expertise in executing research projects for federal agencies, particularly in advanced materials science, space exploration, and related technical domains. The research is structured as a grant for research with pricing categorized as "other," reflecting the fundamental scientific investigation nature of the work, which likely supports space science objectives given the focus on dust coating effects relevant to planetary surface characterization and exploration missions.

Description

The goal of the proposed work is to gain a quantitative understanding of the spectral effects of thin dust coatings on rock or coarse particulate surfaces and to relate those to the thermophysical properties of those surfaces.
