- This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for the purpose of curating and archiving data related to small bodies in the solar system such as comets, asteroids, meteorites, and near-Earth objects. The total potential value of the contract is $5,303,331.77, with a period of performance through December 6, 2021. The contract does not...
- This federal contract award to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, is for the creation of an archive of ultraviolet (UV) observation data of small solar system bodies such as asteroids and Mercury. The goal is to consolidate disparate datasets from various sources, including spacecraft missions like IUE, HST, and Mariner 10, into a centralized, accessible archive as part of NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS). The $267,497.63 grant will fund the restoration,...
- This federal contract award to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, is for research related to the exploration of a volatile-rich asteroid. The $387,400 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center will allow the PI to participate in the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission, which is currently en route to the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3. The PI has extensive experience in planetary remote sensing and laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial materials, which...
- This is a $525,400.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports research to constrain the surface properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 using images from the Optical Navigation Camera (ONC) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The research aims to create a detailed shape model, photometric model, and color maps of the asteroid to support...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to recover, clean, document, and archive ionospheric profiles acquired by the Viking Orbiter radio occultation investigation. The objective is to make these valuable historical data publicly available through the Planetary Data System (PDS). The grant has a ceiling value of $110,844 and a period of performance through March 31, 2020. This effort aligns...
- This is a $570,400 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The purpose of this grant is to support the Hayabusa2 mission's investigation of asteroid 1999 JU3. Specifically, the research will: Create global shape and topography models of the asteroid using stereo-photo-clinometry to aid mission planning, data analysis, and site selection for the Small Carry-on Impactor (SCI) experiment. Combine the shape model with...
- This is a grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $390,378 grant is for the "Asteroids in the Archives - Compilation and Calibration of Serendipitous Archival Asteroid Photometry" project. The objective is to create a catalog of calibrated astrometry, photometry, and point spread function (PSF) measurements for small solar system objects detected in public archival image...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $179,180.46 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate the composition of hydrated silicates and organics on the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 (Ju3) in support of the Hayabusa2 mission. The principal investigator, Dr. Driss Takir, will work directly with the NIRS3 instrument team to measure spectra of relevant materials under asteroid-like conditions and process the NIRS3 spectral data to...
- This is a $386,300.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is part of NASA's Defining Rover Science Protocols for Robotic Sample Return program, and aims to develop best practices for selecting and caching samples during Mars exploration missions. The project will test rover-based science methodologies to improve science return on sample...
- This is a $343,000.00 grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University to investigate the formation conditions of sulfide minerals in samples returned from asteroid Itokawa by the Japanese Hayabusa mission and in chondritic meteorites. The research aims to develop a database to interpret the conditions of formation for sulfides that may be found in samples returned by future asteroid sample return missions like Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx. The grant is part of NASA's Laboratory Analysis of...
