- This is a $548,949.76 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research to better understand the role of atmospheric gravity waves on Mars, which can impact spacecraft operations and the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere. The project will leverage data from multiple NASA spacecraft, including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Global...
- This federal contract award from NASA to the University of Colorado Boulder supports research into the early climate of Mars and how water clouds may have contributed to maintaining temperatures near the freezing point. The $363,203.85 grant will fund simulations of past and present Martian climate, with a focus on phenomena like high-altitude clouds and surface frost interactions that could potentially lead to liquid water formation. The work aims to resolve long-standing debates about the...
- This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research organization. The goal of the grant is to develop a better understanding of how surface water sources and sinks at the Martian poles interact with the global climate system. The research will primarily utilize data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, including CRISM, MCS, and MARCI. The grant seeks to address key...
- This is a $78,096 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to determine the effects of mineral particle clustering on Mars spacecraft spectral signatures and to refine the production of refractive indices corresponding to Mars dust laboratory analog spectra. The work aims to improve the understanding of Mars surface...
- This is a $363,724.76 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, operating as the University of Colorado, to investigate the interaction between Martian polar cryo jets and the lower atmosphere on Mars.
