About this award
Georgia Tech Research Corp, through its Office of Sponsored Programs, has been awarded a $150,000 grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct research on expanding spatial and stratigraphic relationships in Gale Crater using HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) color data in conjunction with VNIR (Visible and Near-Infrared) spectral data from the Curiosity rover. The award, issued on November 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027, supports Mars exploration research objectives. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition. As the primary research entity of the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech Research Corp brings substantial expertise in advanced scientific research and development across multiple federal domains.
This grant falls within the broader context of NASA's Mars science program, which leverages orbital and rover-based instruments to advance understanding of Martian geology and habitability. Georgia Tech Research Corp's involvement reflects the institution's extensive track record securing federal research funding across civilian agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation, in addition to its significant defense research portfolio. The research will integrate complementary datasets from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (HiRISE instrument) and the Curiosity rover's spectrometers to enhance geological mapping and analysis of the Gale Crater region, contributing to ongoing Mars exploration science objectives.
