- This federal contract award, valued at $120,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp) to conduct research on the multiphase behavior of Europa's ice shell. The research aims to understand the evolution and potential habitability of Europa's subsurface ocean, which is of great scientific interest for the possibility of supporting extraterrestrial life. The contract,...
- This is a $294,660 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to study the interaction between Jupiter's moon Callisto and Jupiter's magnetosphere using a hybrid simulation code. The goal is to analyze the morphology of Callisto's plasma interaction and use the results to interpret data from the Galileo mission and support planning for the upcoming JUICE mission. This supports NASA's Solar System Workings program objectives to...
- This is a $107,052.73 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The award is for the design and implementation of low-power, compact, and highly sensitive analytical instrumentation techniques for organic and inorganic analysis of the subsurface ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. This work will build a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) system for amino acid...
- This is a $389,698.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research into understanding the magnetic field of Jupiter's moon Europa and its subsurface ocean. The research aims to improve the interpretation of data from the Galileo spacecraft to better determine the properties of Europa's subsurface ocean, such as its thickness, depth, and salinity. The research will involve applying various plasma interaction models, including...
- This federal contract award to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, provides funding for the development of a deep subsurface access vehicle system for exploring Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The proposed platform would enable access to a subsurface water volume within 5 kilometers of the surface, with the capability to reach depths up to 15 kilometers. The work will adapt existing Georgia Tech vehicle technologies, including the ICEFIN (an...
- This is a $400,966.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, requires the awardee to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The work will focus on scientific research related...
- This is a $360,953 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) for research on the induced magnetosphere of Pluto and its interaction with energetic heliospheric ions. The award has a period of performance through February 14, 2026. Georgia Tech, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, has extensive experience conducting research and development for federal agencies...
This federal contract is a $282,863 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project to better understand the nature and impact of potential water vapor plumes on the Jovian moon Europa through in-situ plasma and magnetic field observations from past and future spacecraft missions. The project will use a hybrid simulation model to assess how different plume characteristics would modify the plasma and magnetic field perturbations generated by Europa's atmosphere and induced magnetic field. This will help determine if the induced field can obscure the visibility of potential plumes in magnetic field data, and the impact of plumes on Europa's distant Alfven wings. There is no set-aside designation for this award, which has a completion date of October 31, 2021.
