About this award
The Johns Hopkins University received a $550,000 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027. The award, announced February 1, 2024, supports research titled "Is Titan Pushing Saturn Around? Resolving the Saturn Magnetospheric Hydrogen Controversy." This investigation aligns with NASA's planetary science objectives, specifically addressing fundamental questions about the interaction between Saturn's moon Titan and the planetary magnetosphere, with particular focus on hydrogen dynamics in Saturn's magnetic environment. The research will be conducted at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland facility, and was awarded through full and open competition without small business set-aside designation.
As a premier research institution with extensive experience supporting NASA's space science initiatives, Johns Hopkins brings substantial expertise in planetary science investigations. The university has previously received numerous NASA grants for space exploration research, including investigations of cometary isotope ratios, orbital dynamics around celestial bodies, and balanced science program awards supporting lunar and Martian exploration. This award represents part of Johns Hopkins' ongoing portfolio of federally funded research that advances understanding of planetary systems and supports the agency's broader science objectives within its budget constraints.
