About this award
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $135,980.64 research grant (22-PIMOVE22-0002) titled "Evolution of Lunar Topography and Regolith as Constrained by Polarimetry" by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant, which was not subject to a set-aside designation, was initiated on October 21, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 20, 2024. The research will be conducted at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland campus and focuses on advancing understanding of lunar surface characteristics through polarimetry analysis—a remote sensing technique that examines how light reflects from lunar materials to better characterize topography and regolith properties.
This grant supports scientific research aligned with lunar exploration objectives, leveraging Johns Hopkins' substantial expertise in space science and engineering through its renowned Applied Physics Laboratory and broader research portfolio. The project contributes to foundational knowledge necessary for lunar science initiatives and exploration planning, areas where the university has established itself as a critical federal research partner. The modest award value reflects the focused, specialized nature of this particular research effort within Johns Hopkins' broader portfolio of space exploration and scientific research contracts and grants supporting multiple federal agencies.
