About this award
This is a $919,861 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for the "SPECTROSCOPIES FOR ASSESSING REDOX CONDITIONS (SPARC)" project. The grant focuses on tracing the evolution of oxygen fugacity during three stages of glass formation on the lunar surface: volcanism, impact melting, and post-eruption re-crystallization. The research will use advanced spectroscopic techniques like X-ray absorption, X-ray microdiffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy to examine multivalent elements in lunar glasses and selected crystalline phases. This will provide insights into the primary oxidation state of the lunar interior, as represented by pyroclastic glass beads, as well as the impact processing environment. The project will analyze samples from the Apollo 14, 15, and 17 missions, including impact glasses from breccia 72255 and pyroclastic glass beads from drive core 73001/2. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
