About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $297,690 research grant to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) on August 1, 2024, for the creation of a Mars Valley Database utilizing Context Camera (CTX) data. This grant, identified as 23-PDART23-0019, falls under NASA's Planetary Data Analysis Research and Technology program and represents a non-set-aside competitive award based on technical merit. The work will be performed at PSI's headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, with an expected completion date of July 31, 2027. The project focuses on developing a comprehensive database of Martian valleys using high-resolution imaging data, supporting ongoing Mars science research and exploration objectives.
The Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization with over $16 million in prime federal contract awards and $12 million in grant funding through NASA and the National Science Foundation, is well-positioned to execute this research initiative. PSI's extensive portfolio includes significant Mars-focused research on alluvial fan formation, geological change detection, and surface process analysis, as well as demonstrated expertise in data archiving and high-quality digital terrain model development for Mars research. The organization's consistent selection for competitive awards reflects its technical capabilities in planetary data analysis and advanced mapping methodologies essential for this Mars valley database development effort.
