- This is a $590,115.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a study to investigate the generation, redistribution, and mixing of regolith on the lunar surface. The research will develop a 3D model to track the age of impact melts and compare the results to lunar meteorite samples in order to assess scenarios of early lunar bombardment history. The...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $589.4K grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct "A Fresh Examination of the Moon's Young Craters: Insights from New Datasets and Analysis Tools." This research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and represents a continuation of PSI's extensive portfolio of lunar science research. The...
- This is a $515,116.00 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 is for a research project to obtain quantitative information about the lunar regolith, or surface material, using remote-sensing techniques. The goal is to better understand how the irregularly shaped lunar regolith particles scatter light, which is necessary for interpreting remote...
- This is a $121,787 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the Moon. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of PSI's broader portfolio of federal contract and grant awards from agencies like NASA to support planetary science research and space exploration. The research funded under this grant will help interpret the...
- This is a $353,405.66 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for a three-year project led by senior scientists Dr. Scott C. Mest and Dr. R. Aileen Yingst to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of data from the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 lunar missions. Key tasks include digitizing pre-mission maps, creating updated USGS geologic maps, and presenting results at annual Planetary...
- This $287,100 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for research to derive lunar surface slopes and roughness from Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data, and to study the influence of these measurements on surface temperature. This work supports NASA's goals of expanding scientific knowledge through new discoveries about the Moon...
- The Planetary Science Institute has been awarded a $706.8K research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of the volcanic history of the Crisium Basin, a major lunar feature. This research effort is scheduled for completion by August 30, 2027, following the award date of August 31, 2023. The work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, where PSI maintains its headquarters. This grant represents a continuation of PSI's substantial portfolio of NASA-funded...
