About this award
This is a $650,522 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant's objective is to determine if a variety of layered-ejecta (LE) craters on Mars and Ganymede can be formed by mixtures of impact-fragmented rock and ice, and specifically whether a surface layer of ice can explain the occurrence of LE craters at low latitudes on Mars. This research aligns with NASA's focus on planetary exploration and understanding the geological features of other celestial bodies. SwRI has extensive experience in federal contract and grant work, including supporting complex government missions through innovative research, development, testing, and technical services across various domains, including aerospace systems and space science.
Description
Objectives: we propose to determine if a variety of layered-ejecta (LE) craters on mars and ganymede can be formed by mixtures of impact-fragmented rock and ICE, and specifically whether a surface layer of ICE can explain the occurrence.
