This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to study the origins and evolution of Saturn's moon Titan. The $118,287.33 training grant aims to employ N-body simulations to test theories about Titan's unusual features, which current models cannot easily explain. The work seeks to understand the potential for dynamical instability and satellite mergers within resonant satellite systems, as a possible explanation for Titan's and its companion Hyperion's origins. The research is relevant to NASA's planetary science program and broader mission to understand solar system formation. As a state-controlled public research university, UMD frequently receives federal research grants and contracts to support its academic and scientific endeavors. The University System of Maryland, which oversees UMD, also holds various federal contracts for telecommunications services and as a subcontractor for research and development work.
