- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the internal activity and tectonic processes of several icy satellites in the solar system, including Enceladus and Europa. The primary objective is to use modeling software to investigate how processes within the ice shells of these moons are linked to their surface features. The research will be conducted under a $147,105.00 grant with a...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, was awarded a $229,427 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2027. This grant supports a scientific research initiative focused on detecting geological changes on Enceladus, Saturn's small ice-covered moon, by comparing high-resolution imagery from the Voyager spacecraft missions (1980-1981) with data collected by NASA's...
- This $88,161.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on tidal-tectonic processes on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The research aims to improve understanding of Europa's interior structure and rotational history by incorporating rheology-dependent tidal stress equations into existing models and testing the predictions against observed geologic features. The work will assess the role of non-synchronous...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, received a $147,365 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center on March 20, 2024, to support the project "Constraining Enceladus' Between-Stripe Emission," which is a continuation of original grant 80NSSC19K0885. This award is part of NASA's broader commitment to understanding the icy moons of Saturn, with Enceladus representing a key target for astrobiology research due to its...
- This federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) provides $554,243.43 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the habitability of icy moons and exoplanets. The research aims to: Determine the effect of ice flow and ocean circulation on habitability under global thick ice cover, as could be found on Europa or icy exoplanets. Examine whether gaps in thick, near-global ice coverage can be maintained at the equator or substellar point, and the consequences for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $575,037.88, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The award is for a research grant to study Europa's thermal-orbital evolution and its effects on the moon's surface geology, fracture formation, and potential liquid water transport. The research aims to better characterize Europa's interior structure, tidal...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The $250,798.00 grant will fund research to understand the role of sintering, a temperature-dependent process that modifies the physical properties of ice, in the evolution of planetary surfaces across the solar system. The work will involve laboratory experiments to quantify the sintering of water ice...
- Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, received a $450,830 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded on January 10, 2022, with a completion date of January 9, 2027. This competitively awarded grant carries no set-aside designation and funds a research project investigating the effects of exogenic processes on the surfaces of Saturn's inner large icy satellites—specifically Mimas, Tethys, Enceladus, Dione, and Rhea. The...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The $284,947.68 grant is for research related to the Cassini mission's discovery of eruptions from fissures near Enceladus' south pole. The contract has a completion date of January 28, 2022 and was awarded on January 1, 2020. The contract is not designated as a set-aside. Through past prime contracts, Planetary...
- This federal contract award, valued at $651,311.68, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to support the exploration of the habitability of icy worlds such as Europa. The research aims to enhance the current understanding of the timescales and mechanisms of organic reactions in hydrothermal systems, which is crucial for interpreting data from analytical instruments like mass spectrometers that will be sent to study icy worlds. The project involves...
