About this award
This is a $292,831 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant is for research on small bodies in the solar system, as these remnants from the formation of our solar system can provide insights into its early phases and exoplanetary systems. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Lowell Observatory has extensive experience conducting astronomical research under federal contracts and grants, collaborating with entities like the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The observatory leverages its advanced facilities, including the 4.3-meter Discovery Channel Telescope, to execute research projects for NASA and the National Science Foundation on topics such as near-Earth objects, the geology of Pluto, comet activities, and exoplanet atmospheres.
