About this award
This is a $706,605 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant will fund research to determine whether impact gardening can explain the erasure of rays on the asteroid Vesta, as observed by the Dawn Discovery Mission. The research will provide new constraints on solar system processes like space weathering and regolith development. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. This award is part of a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) that the University of Hawaii Systems has with NASA Headquarters, valued at $85,492,611, for managing and operating the Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) over a 9.5-year period. The University of Hawaii has a history of executing federal contracts and grants with various agencies, including the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and National Institutes of Health, leveraging its expertise in fields such as astronomy, oceanography, and climate research.
