- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of Tennessee to investigate the co-occurrences of calcium sulfate veins and magnesium sulfate cements in dry climates, searching for sulfate origins in Gale Crater on Mars. The $485,046.00 grant-funded research project has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027. The University of Tennessee, a prominent public land-grant research institution, will serve as the prime...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AL98G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee. The $130,000.00 grant supports the university's research focused on quantifying the timing and nature of igneous processes that occurred during the formation of the Moon and Mars. Key areas of study include investigating the origin of enriched Martian meteorites (shergottites), analyzing the nature of volatiles in lunar minerals and rocks, and dating...
- This federal contract award, valued at $261,128.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee, operating as the Univ Tennessee System Office. The contract supports research objectives of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which focuses on studying geophysical and geochemical processes on planetary bodies. As a major public land-grant research university, the University of Tennessee has extensive experience conducting scientific...
- The University of Tennessee, operating through its System Office in Knoxville, Tennessee, was awarded a $594,960 research grant by a civilian federal agency (identified as a Shared Services Center) on February 1, 2022, with a completion date of January 31, 2027. This grant-based contract supports research activities, though the specific research focus—indicated in the government description as relating to liquid environments and extreme cold temperatures on Mars and ocean worlds—appears...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a grant for $249,847.00 to the University of Tennessee System Office to conduct research. The project will include a short development period to determine the optimum synthesis conditions and a scalability period to mitigate non-uniform densification up to a 40 mm diameter. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on July 31, 2022. As a land grant university, the...
- This is a $694,642.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for scientific research. The study will focus on three main objectives: (1) analyzing the mineralogy, geochemistry, and textural characteristics of paleosols to better understand microbial processing, (2) examining fluvial transport processes and developing 3D digital outcrop models, and (3) searching for macroscopic evidence of...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1055, was granted to the University of Tennessee (Univ Tennessee System Office) for a three-year period to reprocess monostatic radar data of the Moon acquired by the Mini-RF instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The $395,065.00 grant is for scientific research, with no set-aside designation noted. The University of Tennessee, a major public land-grant research university system, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee, doing business as the University of Tennessee System Office. The $212,687.00 grant supports research to construct a geologic map of the western portion of the Aeolis Mons, the central mound in Gale Crater, at a 1:60,000 scale. The overarching goal is to better understand the origin(s) of mound-forming and mound-draping layers on Mars, specifically whether draping layers were limited to a narrow depositional episode or if multiple cycles of deposition and erosion are evident. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Tennessee is a public land grant institution that has delivered a variety of research, education, and public service programs for federal agencies like the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, and NASA.
