About this award
The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $782,810 grant on September 15, 2023, to develop a multi-spacecraft ensemble Mars atmosphere reanalysis system for investigating Martian weather and dust storms. This civilian research award, funded through a federal agency's Shared Services Center, supports Penn State's work in advancing our understanding of Mars's atmospheric conditions through integrated data analysis from multiple spacecraft platforms. The project is scheduled for completion by September 14, 2026, and will be conducted at Penn State's University Park campus in Pennsylvania. No set-aside designation was used in this award, indicating the selection was based on Penn State's technical merit and research capabilities.
This grant aligns with Penn State's extensive portfolio of federally-funded space exploration and Earth science research, historically supported by agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. The university's expertise in developing sophisticated computational models and atmospheric analysis tools positions it well to create an integrated reanalysis system that synthesizes observational data from multiple Mars-orbiting spacecraft. Such reanalysis systems are critical tools for the planetary science community, enabling researchers to better characterize Martian meteorological phenomena and improve our understanding of atmospheric dynamics on Mars.
