This is a $115,725.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The grant supports research to understand the history of water on the surface of Mars by studying minerals formed from water-rock interactions, specifically phyllosilicates and partially chloritized smectites. The research objectives are to synthesize and characterize partially...
This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for research to provide extensive geological and mineralogical evidence on the presence of liquid water on the surface of ancient Mars. Caltech has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards from NASA and the Department of Defense over the past 5 years for a range of...
This $187,978 grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to the distribution and variability of water-formed minerals on Mars. The work will leverage spectral data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument to improve the understanding of the Martian surface. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program and has an ultimate...
This is a $596,148 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for a research project to develop theoretical and experimental bases for understanding the varying chemical and mineralogical conditions of water-silicate reactions on planetary bodies. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 29, 2025. Caltech is a major recipient of NASA and Department of...
This is a $398,382.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to identifying and quantifying phyllosilicate (clay) minerals on planetary bodies throughout the solar system. The research aims to improve the ability to remotely detect and characterize these minerals, which are crucial indicators of past water-rock interactions. Key tasks include synthesizing and characterizing smectite...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on reconstructing the history of Jezero Crater Lake from remote 3D digital topography. The research is intended to provide a framework for the 2020 Mars Rover exploration mission. Caltech is a private research university that conducts significant scientific research and engineering services for NASA and the Department of...
