About this award
Purdue University received a $200,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center mechanism, with performance to be completed by December 31, 2027. The research focuses on developing a comprehensive model for space weathering across the solar system, examining the two primary physical processes that drive this phenomenon: micrometeoroid impacts and irradiation by energetic ions from the solar wind. The award, which commenced on January 1, 2026, will be conducted at Purdue's West Lafayette, Indiana campus and was issued through a competitive procurement process without set-aside designation.
This award represents one of numerous research grants Purdue University has secured from NASA and other federal agencies focused on space exploration and planetary science. The space weathering research aligns with broader federal initiatives to understand planetary surface processes and the fundamental physical mechanisms that affect celestial bodies throughout the solar system. As a leading land-grant research institution with extensive aerospace and materials science capabilities, Purdue's research infrastructure and interdisciplinary expertise position the university to deliver specialized scientific services in this critical domain of planetary and space science research.
