- NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $783.6K grant to Universities Space Research Association (USRA) on May 21, 2024, for research titled "Europa and Ganymede After JunoCam: Cartographic, Topographic and Crater Distribution Updates and Change Detection." The grant, which carries no set-aside designation, will support work performed in Washington, DC, and is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2027. USRA, a nonprofit research organization headquartered in Washington, DC,...
- This is a $155,646.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a 3-year research program to advance the understanding of the number, distribution, composition, and eruption characteristics of pyroclastic deposits on the Moon. The research aims to provide insight into early-stage lunar volcanism and identify potential resources, such as iron-rich volcanic...
- This is a $287,521.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a non-profit research organization. The grant supports two interdependent tasks: 1) characterizing the geochemical, petrological, and geophysical records of lunar mare provinces that lack clear associations with large impact basins, and 2) using numerical modeling to constrain the volcanic and tectonic structure of these regions....
- This is a $395,394 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a research project titled "Hydrothermal and Periglacial Processes Following Large Impact Events May Be of Fundamental Importance in the Creation of Environments Conducive to Organic Chemistry". The research is focused on studying volatile-rich impact melt and...
- This is a $115,208.57 grant award from NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant will fund a study to better understand tidal heating, a key energy process on ocean worlds like Jupiter's moon Io. The study aims to determine if and how Io's high-latitude volcanoes differ from low-latitude ones, and how those differences inform our understanding of tidal heating. The work will involve analyzing data from the Jovian Infrared...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $64,999 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to execute a balanced science program. The grant supports USRA's participation as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. USRA will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This is a $171,350.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) for research on the differentiation and early thermal evolution of meteorite parent bodies. The research aims to model the thermal evolution and core formation of various types of meteorite parent bodies, using methods like finite difference modeling and Stokes flow. Key objectives include quantifying the fractions of metal and silicate melting,...
- This is a $1,040,202 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization.

- This is a $197,186 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, for a project titled "Temporal Evolution in the Style of Mantle Convection on Venus: The Role of Mantle, Lithosphere, and Atmospheric Coupling." The grant, which runs from February 2023 through February 2026, will fund research to study the interplay between Venus's mantle, lithosphere, and atmosphere...
- This is a $595,170.69 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) on February 7, 2017. The purpose of the grant is to study the recent crater flux on Saturn's mid-sized moons using data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). The research aims to determine the distribution of ice phases within and around young craters, estimate crater formation ages, and quantify the crater flux experienced by these...
