About this award

This federal contract award, valued at $448,404.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for research focused on characterizing pahoehoe-like lava flow morphologies on the surface of Mars in the Tharsis and Elysium volcanic provinces. The research aims to better understand the emplacement styles and evolution of Martian lava flow fields by cataloging and analyzing high-resolution imaging and topographic data. This work supports NASA's planetary science objectives by advancing the knowledge of geological processes on Mars. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating that PSI was selected competitively based on its technical capabilities in planetary science research. PSI has an extensive history of providing scientific research services to NASA and other federal agencies through both contract awards and grants.
