- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,706,884.65 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) for the Lander-Internal Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) experiment. This research grant supports the development of a 3-axis seismometer to measure seismic waves and determine the thickness and structure of Europa's ice shell. The instrument aims to help establish whether a subsurface ocean exists on...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $160,933.98 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the viability of a seismic experiment on a potential Europa Lander mission, a future ocean worlds exploration effort. The grant, titled "THE SIIOS PSTAR," aims to develop operational techniques and quantify the science return of the proposed SIIOS experiment. This award does not have a set-aside...
- The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $2,739,465 firm fixed price grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The grant aims to advance development of a lunar geophysical network through innovative seismic sensors and deployment methods that can overcome limitations of sparse instrumentation and improve upon data quality from Apollo-era sensors. Specifically, the University will research and develop a...
- The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $3.1 million research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 1, 2023, for the development of a seismometer to investigate interior asteroid structure. The project, designated E014042 and MATISE22_2-0018, will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027. This award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive standing in federal...
- This is a $2,494,857 grant awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative,...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to mature a miniature broadband seismometer for deployment on Jupiter's moon Europa. The goal is to develop a seismic instrument capable of probing the properties of Europa's ice shell and interior structure, and recording current activity, in support of a potential future Europa lander mission. The $2,337,679.69 grant, titled "Studies of Landed Mission...
- This is a $124,130.15 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for research on the direct imaging and interferometry of proto-planets at the epoch of disk clearing. The grant runs from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2021. The University of Arizona is a public research university and 1862 land grant institution located in Tucson, Arizona. As a state government entity, higher education...
- This is a $105,826.80 grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university and Hispanic Serving Institution. The grant supports a study to quantify volcanic and related magmatic activity in the same region as the active InSight mission, which will benefit the interpretation of InSight's new geophysical measurements. This grant award is...
- This is a $344,439.83 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant aims to study the presence of subsurface oceans on several satellites in the solar system and how this affects their tidal dissipation, an important energy source. The University of Arizona is a public research university, 1862 land grant institution, and Hispanic Serving Institution located in Tucson, Arizona. As a state government entity and higher...
- This is a $3,041,172.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to execute a balanced science program. The grant is not set aside and will support the university's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The university will advance discovery in emerging fields by...
This is a $2,435,272.96 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to demonstrate the field sensitivity of a short-baseline seismic array for detecting seismicity, ice-water boundaries, and ice properties in terrestrial analogs for ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus. The grant supports field testing of a commercial off-the-shelf seismometer device to quantify mission requirements for future robotic exploration of ocean worlds, including data rates, processing algorithms, and optimal array geometries. The effort will include field deployments in Alaska and Antarctica to validate the seismic methods. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona, as a state government entity, 1862 land grant institution, and Hispanic Serving Institution, has extensive capabilities in astrophysics, planetary science, and related disciplines to support NASA's exploration objectives.
