About this award
The Planetary Science Institute was awarded a $978,164 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on October 1, 2023, to conduct high-resolution three-dimensional radar mapping, analysis, and modeling of the internal layers within the North Polar Layered Deposits. This project, designated as 22-MDAP22_2-0035, represents fundamental research in planetary science with a completion date of September 30, 2026. The work will be performed at PSI's headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, and does not utilize a set-aside designation, reflecting the organization's competitive technical capabilities in radar data interpretation and planetary surface analysis.
This grant supports PSI's research portfolio within NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) science program, leveraging data from the Shallow Subsurface Radar (SHARAD) instrument to investigate the composition, structure, and depositional history of Mars' north polar ice and dust deposits. PSI's expertise in subsurface imaging analysis, planetary mapping, and theoretical modeling of geological processes makes the organization well-suited to advance understanding of the North Polar Layered Deposits' formation and evolution, contributing to broader NASA objectives in characterizing Mars' climate history and potential past habitability.
