About this award
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC17K0665, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Morehead State University, a non-profit educational institution. The $99,997.80 grant-type contract supports the PRISM CubeSat mission, which aims to determine the origin of Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. The mission will measure the surface composition of Phobos using a time-of-flight ion composition spectrometer, without landing on the surface. This contract supports the goals of NASA's Planetary Science Division to explore and observe objects in the solar system and understand how they formed and evolved. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of February 28, 2018.
Description
The prism cubesat mission will determine the origin of phobos: did IT form in the outer solar system or in situ near mars, perhaps through a collision or by coalescence of a debris disk left over from the formation of mars? Prism will measure phobos' surface composition using secondary ION mass spectrometry or sims and answer this critical question. The prism cubesat study supports the goals of the planetary science division as described in the 2014 NASA science plan because IT addresses the question "how did the solar system form and evolve?" by "exploring and observing the objects in the solar system to understand how they formed and evolved." prism, a 12U cubesat will determine the composition and hence the origin of phobos using a high resolution time-of-flight (TOF) ION composi ION spectrometer of approximately 2U volume to observe the species sputtered from phobos surface - without landing on the surface.
