- This $312,064.17 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama to study Mercury's global-scale magnetic field. The research aims to improve understanding of Mercury's internal structure and the processes that led to its observed lithospheric magnetic field. Key objectives include determining the time-averaged non-dipolar structure of Mercury's core field, constraining the dynamo region within the outer core, and mapping the spatial...
- This is a $165,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research addressing two key issues in lunar science. The research objectives are to: 1) Produce improved maps of the lunar crustal magnetic field within 13 lunar impact basins and use this data to determine more reliable paleomagnetic pole positions to evaluate evidence of true polar wander, and 2) Conduct a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $327,067.95 grant to North Carolina State University, an 1862 Land Grant College and educational institution, to conduct research and prepare a global geological map of the planet Mercury. The work builds upon previous mapping efforts using data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, which orbited Mercury from 2011-2015. The new map will incorporate the final calibrated...
- This is a $210,219.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University for a research project to investigate the tectonic shortening structures on the planet Mercury. The goal is to better characterize the history of contraction on the planet using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The research will involve mapping and analyzing global tectonic features to determine the timing and rate of contraction throughout Mercury's history. No...
- This is a $319,012.72 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2016. The objective of this grant is to develop a comprehensive model of Mercury's magnetospheric magnetic field to better understand the interactions between Mercury's interior, surface, and magnetosphere, which is relevant to the Solar System Roadmap's goal of determining how the solar system evolved to its current state. The grant supports three main...
- This is a $378,874.92 grant award to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the spin state evolution and true polar wander of the Moon and Mercury. The goal is to better understand the origin and nature of the permanently shadowed polar ice deposits on these bodies, which could provide insight into their long-term stability. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public...
- This $192,613.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the history and composition of explosive volcanic deposits on the planet Mercury. The research aims to determine when these deposits formed and analyze variations in the volatile gas fraction and magma composition across the deposits. It will leverage data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER)...
- This federal contract award, valued at $292,628.48, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The objective of the grant is to quantify the magnetic properties of iron minerals that could be present in the crust of Mercury, in order to better understand the planet's crustal magnetism and internal structure. The research will involve synthesizing and...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports research into the evolution of Mercury's core and magnetic field. The award, valued at $458,936.10, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings research program. The research will use interior evolution models and 3D numerical dynamo models to investigate how Mercury's core and dynamo-generated magnetic field have changed over time. This work is intended...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $530,400 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) to conduct in-depth studies on magnetopause reconnection, flux transfer events, and region-1 field-aligned currents at Mercury using the full dataset from the MESSENGER mission. The research aims to understand the nature of magnetopause reconnection at Mercury, how solar wind conditions affect reconnection rate and related...
