About this award
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) was awarded a $435,291 research grant on January 17, 2024, to conduct a study comparing the material properties of Titan aerosols with laboratory-made aerosol analogs. This research project, identified as 21-CDAP21_2-0044, represents a critical contribution to understanding Saturn's moon Titan's atmosphere, aerosols, and surface organic sediments, with findings expected to illuminate various physical and chemical processes occurring on that celestial body. The grant will be performed in San Antonio, Texas, with a completion date of January 16, 2027, and carries no small business set-aside designation.
UTSA, a Hispanic-serving public research university within the University of Texas System, serves as the prime contractor for this initiative. The funding originates from a civilian federal agency operating through a shared services center structure. This award aligns with UTSA's established portfolio of space exploration and advanced research capabilities, which has previously supported National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions and initiatives. The grant structure provides flexible funding to support the university's interdisciplinary research team in conducting sophisticated analytical work on Titan's atmospheric composition and organic chemistry, contributing to broader national priorities in space science and planetary exploration.
