About this award
Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, received a $492,845 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center on November 1, 2023, to investigate the historical extent of Mars' South Polar massive carbon dioxide ice deposit. This grant, which carries no set-aside designation, reflects PSI's competitive technical capabilities in planetary science research and will be completed by October 31, 2026. The work will be performed at PSI's headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, and represents part of the organization's substantial research portfolio supporting NASA's planetary exploration objectives.
PSI is well-positioned to execute this research initiative, given its extensive experience in Mars surface processes investigations and its track record of delivering mission support and data analysis services for NASA's planetary science missions. The organization's past work includes research on Martian geological features such as alluvial fan formation, crater morphometry analysis on other planetary bodies, and extended mission support for Mars Science Laboratory instruments. As a prime grantee with over $12 million in total NASA and National Science Foundation grant awards, PSI demonstrates the scientific expertise and institutional capacity necessary to advance understanding of Mars' polar ice dynamics and composition through rigorous investigation and analysis aligned with NASA Science Mission Directorate priorities.
