- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $558,482.62 grant to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) to advance the development of a Stored Chemical Energy Power System (SCEPS) for potential use on a Venus mission. This TRL 9 technology has historically been used to provide both electrical and propulsive power for undersea systems and is well-suited for the harsh Venusian environment. The proposed solution aims to significantly increase the operational time on the Venus...
- This is a $90,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the unknown near-ultraviolet absorbing species in the global cloud layer of Venus. The award, which has no set-aside designation, is intended to address outstanding questions about the nature of this unknown species, despite the many successful missions to Venus since the 1960s. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $122,995.14 grant to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, to conduct research on power sources for planetary exploration missions. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, was awarded on June 1, 2019 with a completion date of February 28, 2021. This contract supports NASA's efforts to develop alternative power sources for descent probes or landers, as solar power can be...
- The Johns Hopkins University has been awarded a $319,610 research grant (Award 22-XRP22_2-0074) by a civilian federal agency to construct a Venus transmission spectrum utilizing solar occultation measurements from the Venus Express spacecraft. The project, which commenced on January 1, 2023 and will conclude on December 31, 2026, represents a non-set-aside competitive award focused on advancing exoplanet research methodologies. Work will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland campus,...
- This is a $402,987.29 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The award supports The Johns Hopkins University's participation as a Participating Scientist (PS) in planning and analyzing observations using the Akatsuki Lightning and Airglow Camera (LAC) instrument to study the time-history of lightning flashes on Venus. This contributes to NASA's broader VENUS...
- This is a $308,070.77 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a research project titled "High-Speed Multiphase Flow in Plume-Surface Interaction." The project aims to study the effects of rocket exhaust plumes on granular surfaces during powered descent on the Moon and Mars, which can pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. This research grant, awarded on August 1, 2020, has a period of performance through...
- This is a $149,845 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a study on the "Loss Through Auroral Microburst Pulsations Satellite LAMPSAT Flight Opportunity." The grant, which runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025, will support research related to NASA's space science mission. The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland, has a long history of performing scientific research and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $998,854 research grant to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2024, to support a project titled "Revealing Cross-Scale Geospace Coupling: The Nightside Transition Region and Its Auroral Manifestations." The award, funded through NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program, will support scientific research conducted at the university's Baltimore, Maryland campus through May 31, 2028. This grant represents a non-set-aside award...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $189,278 research grant by the federal government on September 3, 2024, for a project titled "Do Polygonal Impact Craters Form on Mercury's Lobate Scarps? Implications for Contractional Tectonism Throughout the Solar System." The grant, which carries a completion deadline of September 2, 2026, is classified as a non-set-aside research grant funded through a civilian federal agency. The project will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore,...
- This is a $79,957 federal grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant will fund the development of a combined heat shield and solar thermal propulsion system for an Oberth maneuver, per the solicitation 21-NIAC22B-0053. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University has a strong track record of federal...
The Johns Hopkins University received a $114,113.64 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on July 19, 2017 to conduct research on using molten lithium combustion systems as a high energy density power source for future Venus or other solar-resource-constrained planetary lander missions. The research team will perform small-scale experiments using SF6 or CO2 as oxidizers, extracting heat from the reaction to assess and refine preliminary heat transfer models. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle and does not involve any major subcontractors. The findings from this grant are intended to support the development of power systems capable of powering extended duration lander missions in challenging planetary environments.
