- 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 $163,729.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to research the frequency-dependence of the Moon's degree 2 Love numbers and tidal dissipation factor. The grant will leverage tracking data from multiple lunar satellite missions, including Lunar Prospector, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. This research aims to better constrain the...
- 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...
- This is a $334,902.62 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) on December 26, 2017. The grant funds the development of a new atmospheric correction algorithm applicable to coastal and inland waters, using co-located polarimetric and ocean color observations. This research effort is responsive to NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) solicitation for Remote...
- This $1,331,818.00 grant 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 that is part of the University System of Maryland (USM). The award, which has no set-aside designation, is for a project titled "ATMOSPHERIC NOURISHMENT OF GLOBAL OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS ON A CHANGING PLANET" with a completion date of December 18, 2026. UMBC has a history of providing...
- 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...
- This is a $175,635.70 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to support research on satellite measurements of cloud optical properties. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will enable scientific advances in understanding the atmosphere and broader climate system. UMBC is a public research university that has a long history of providing research, measurement, and...
- 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 is a $125,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) for a research project titled "EO14042 INVESTIGATING THE VERTICALLY-RESOLVED RADIATIVE CONSTRAINTS ON TROPICAL PRECIPITATION WITH CLOUDSAT AND CALIPSO". The grant, which has a period of performance through November 7, 2025, will support research related to Earth science and atmospheric composition using data from NASA's CloudSat and CALIPSO...
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 data products. This work supports NASA's objective to maintain a long-term global data record of ocean color to study climate change and ecosystem dynamics. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UMBC is a public research university that has a history of providing research, measurement, and analytical services to support NASA programs in Earth science, astrophysics, and other domains through prime contracts, subcontracts, and grants.
