- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was made to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), a public research university. The $248,961.81 grant is for the "Localized Analysis of GRAIL Data for High-Resolution Gravity Field Determination" project, which aims to produce high-resolution local gravity maps of the Moon using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The...
- This $173,893.72 federal grant award to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) was made by the Shared Services Center of NASA. The proposed effort will document and assess potential sources of uncertainty in comparisons between calibrated observations of the Moon by multiple satellites. The work will quantify key uncertainty sources in the lunar satellite observations, building on prior data to understand error sources stemming from scan geometry, size-of-source effect, and detector...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $542,866.68 grant to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) on April 8, 2019 to develop a compact monitoring station for long-term observation of the lunar exosphere. This effort addresses NASA's Directed Augmentation for Lunar Innovations (DALI) program objective of maturing spacecraft-based instruments with promise for future lunar missions. The proposed monitoring station will use a neutral mass spectrometer,...
- This is a $1,212,991.00 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to develop an airborne measurement capability to support accurate absolute lunar calibration of space-based instruments used to monitor Earth's oceans. The goal is to establish the Moon as a stable, consistent long-term calibration reference for these Earth observation instruments, which require extremely precise radiometric measurements, particularly for ocean color...
- This is a $72,394.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to execute a balanced science program. The contract supports UMBC's participation as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The grant aims to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary...
- This is a grant award to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The $577,701 grant will fund UMBC to execute a balanced science program focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The award requires UMBC to participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, advance discovery in emerging fields, and develop a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $123,897.00 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to execute a balanced science program. The award supports scientific research on and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, with a focus on advancing discovery in emerging fields through cross-disciplinary opportunities. The University of Maryland, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's...
- This is a $40,275 grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for the research project "The Enigma of Evolved Lunar Granites: A Consortium Approach to Solving Their Petrogenesis." The project, awarded by a Civilian federal agency (the Shared Services Center), is for basic research on lunar geology and will run until February 2027. UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and state-controlled institution of higher learning, has a broad...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
- This is a grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant focuses on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as part of the agency's exploration initiative. It also aims to advance discovery in emerging fields by...
