About this award
The Planetary Science Institute has been awarded a $706.8K research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of the volcanic history of the Crisium Basin, a major lunar feature. This research effort is scheduled for completion by August 30, 2027, following the award date of August 31, 2023. The work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, where PSI maintains its headquarters. This grant represents a continuation of PSI's substantial portfolio of NASA-funded planetary science research, which has historically exceeded $12 million in total value across NASA Science Mission Directorate programs.
The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive technical capabilities in planetary science research. As a non-profit research organization with over 18 years of federal funding experience, PSI brings specialized expertise in geologic mapping, data analysis, and planetary surface characterization to this lunar geology initiative. The institute's recent research portfolio includes similar work on Martian geology, lunar features, and planetary surface processes, positioning it well to execute this focused investigation of the Crisium Basin's complex volcanic stratigraphy and geologic history.
