- This is a $369,428 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to model the impact-driven redistribution of lunar crustal and upper mantle material as reflected in the composition of the lunar surface. The work will be conducted through three focused tasks: developing initial conditions and impact models, constraining the initial compositional structure of the Moon, and studying the genesis and timing of the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $519,835 grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the Moon's early magnetic field history. The research aims to determine if the Moon generated a convection-driven dynamo that only intermittently reached high field strengths, or if the dynamo was driven by a different process capable of producing stronger continuous fields. The key objectives are to measure the paleointensity of the lunar...
- This is a $38,496.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant aims to have MIT participate 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. It also requires...
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $336,000 grant award from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on August 29, 2024, to support lunar operations research in connection with NASA's Artemis missions. The grant, which is not set aside for any particular business type, will be performed at MIT's Cambridge, Massachusetts campus and has an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2028. The research focuses on addressing challenges associated with increased uncrewed...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $399,826 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research relevant to NASA's Emerging Worlds program. The research will focus on studying melt inclusions and minerals in Apollo lunar samples to characterize the budget of volatiles acquired by the early primordial Moon and use this information to constrain the origin and evolution of the Moon. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation, and the...
- The University of Notre Dame's Office of Research has been awarded a $134,070 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the composition and formation of lunar materials. The goal of the project is to better understand the lunar magma ocean theory by analyzing samples from the Apollo moon missions. The research aims to examine individual mineral grains in lunar rock samples to explain the apparent overlap in radiometric age dates between the ferroan...
- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- This is a $621,870.00 research grant awarded to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on August 19, 2021. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025 and supports research into the orbital and geological characteristics of the solar system's satellites and their long-term evolution. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. MIT frequently partners with the U.S. federal government, including NASA, to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $588,573.65, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to investigate the ancient lunar dynamo. The contract supports research to constrain the intensity and lifetime of the late lunar dynamo, which has major implications for understanding the Moon's origin, thermal history, and interior structure. The research will analyze the paleomagnetism of young lunar rocks, leveraging...
- The U.S. government has awarded a $137,662 grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "SYNTHESIZING FRAMEWORKS OF SUSTAINABILITY FOR FUTURES ON THE MOON". The grant, identified as award ID 80NSSC24K1766, is being provided by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency. The research aims to develop frameworks for sustainable lunar activities and has a period of performance through September 30, 2025. This grant does not have a...
