- This is a $295,959.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a three-year research effort to search for evidence of shallow ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research tasks involve global mapping and characterization of surface features indicative of subsurface ice, such as sublimation terrains, polygonal patterned ground, and domed hills. The findings will be correlated...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $475,804 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to characterize the spectral light-scattering properties of three geologically young features on the dwarf planet Ceres - Occator Crater, Ahuna Mons, and Haulani Crater. The goal is to better understand the cryovolcanic, cryomagmatic, and diapiric processes on Ceres, based on data from the Dawn mission....
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a geologic mapping study of the dwarf planet Ceres. The study aims to characterize the distribution and timing of volatile- and ice-driven processes on the surface of Ceres, in order to address outstanding science questions about its internal evolution, impact record, and potential past (cryo)volcanic activity. The grant does...
- This federal contract award to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, was issued by the Shared Services Center of a civilian federal agency. The $375,335.00 grant contract is for research related to the Dawn spacecraft's findings that the dwarf planet Ceres has a global regolith (soil layer) containing abundant hydrogen in the form of water ice and aqueously altered minerals, as well as potentially organic matter. The contract supports further study and analysis of...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AB60G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $177,976.09 grant is for research related to the interior structure of Ceres, the largest main-belt object, using data from the Dawn spacecraft. The research aims to determine the shape, topography, rotation, and gravitational field of Ceres, as well as model its interior...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1150, was granted by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $527,296.00 grant is for the development of a detailed geologic map and chronostratigraphy of Urvara Crater on the dwarf planet Ceres, based on high-resolution image data acquired at the end of the Dawn mission. This award does not utilize any set-aside designations. PSI has an extensive...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to analyze data from the Dawn spacecraft's high-altitude mapping orbit of the dwarf planet Ceres. The $333,901.44 grant is funding research to constrain the subsurface structure and geologic history of Ceres based on surface features like domes, mounds, and uplift regions. The research aims to provide insights into the planet's internal...
- This is a $220,053.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for research on modeling the near-surface ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the processes responsible for the evolution of Ceres' surface, including the identification and interpretation of its compositions and stratigraphies, as well as modeling the state of Ceres' semi-bound atmosphere and the variability and volume of its water...
- This federal contract award was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The $599,794.00 award supports research to produce a revised global geologic map of the dwarf planet Ceres based on data collected during NASA's Dawn mission. The proposed work will utilize Dawn Framing Camera images, Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer data, and other mission data to conduct geologic mapping, determine...
