This federal contract award is a $135,000 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The objective is to use a forward modeling approach fitted to lunar dust data from the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission to estimate the meteoroid environment at 1 Astronomical Unit and advance the understanding of impact ejecta dynamics on airless bodies. This research directly addresses NASA's goal of advancing the understanding of how chemical and physical processes in the solar system operate, interact, and evolve. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
