- This is a $526,472.69 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research on the geological analysis of cometary surfaces. The grant aims to: (1) construct improved shape and topography models of comet nuclei; (2) examine and compare the geology and surface evolution of four comet nuclei; and (3) map jets in 3D and study their relationship with the surface. This award is part of a larger NASA initiative focused on studying comets...
- This is a $351,920 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a project titled "UNRAVELING THE ORIGIN AND NATURE OF NON-ICE SPECIES ON THE ICY GALILEAN MOONS" and has a performance period ending on July 11, 2026. The grant was awarded on July 12, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading research institution, The Johns Hopkins...
- This $110,809.36 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The purpose of the grant is to study the composition and abundance of volatile substances stored within ice stability regions (ISRs) at the lunar south pole. This research is important for understanding the volatile history of the Earth-Moon system and supporting future human exploration on the Moon. The...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC20K0341, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The $819,054 grant is for a comparative study of how ices are stored in cometary nuclei, with a period of performance through April 30, 2025. The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, has a long history of providing scientific research, analysis, and specialized expertise to federal agencies such as the...
- This $493,962.92 federal grant award to The Johns Hopkins University was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, for research into a "Swarm Flyby Gravimetry" concept. The proposed approach involves deploying a swarm of small probes from a spacecraft during a flyby of an asteroid or comet, then tracking the probes to estimate the target's gravity field and interior composition. This work is intended to extend scientific understanding of our solar system, benefit human...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $313,476 grant (21-XRP21-0114) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to develop a three-dimensional extinction map for microlensing planet discovery and characterization. This research grant, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025, supports Johns Hopkins' space science research capabilities, which have included prior investigations of isotope ratios in comets and orbital mechanics through NASA...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $446,423.79 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the origin of molecular oxygen (O2) detected in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the ROSINA/DFMS instrument on the Rosetta spacecraft. The goal is to determine the dominant formation mechanism and origin of the high relative abundance of O2 in the comet's coma, which is considered a mystery. The research will involve a systematic analysis of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $112,693 grant to The Johns Hopkins University for research on "The Icy Galilean Satellites as Seen from New Horizons." No set-aside designation was specified. Johns Hopkins will conduct the research through February 2028 under the grant's potential value amount. As the largest research university in the United States, Johns Hopkins has extensive experience performing scientific analysis for NASA through previous...
- This is a $335,055 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a research project titled "EUROPA AND GANYMEDE: DISENTANGLING EXOGENIC VS ENDOGENIC CONTROLS ON SURFACE COMPOSITION". The project will run from May 2024 to January 2026 and does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading private research university, The Johns Hopkins University has a long history of providing a wide range of sophisticated services to...
- The Johns Hopkins University has been awarded a $993,904 research grant effective May 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2029, from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. This grant supports the execution of a balanced science program grounded in discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, alongside administration priorities and congressional direction. The university will serve as a key partner in the agency's...
This $574,466.89 grant award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center supports frontier measurements using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy to advance compositional studies of volatiles (ices) released from the nuclei of active comets. The goal is to understand inner coma physics, sources of volatile release, and the molecular inventory of comet nuclei to test the degree to which formation conditions and evolutionary processing affect current comet chemistry. JHU will utilize state-of-the-art ground-based observatories to study emissions from key molecules in both Oort Cloud comets and Jupiter-Family comets. This grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation.
