The work will be performed in Flagstaff, Arizona, and represents part of the agency's broader commitment to executing a balanced science program that advances discovery in emerging fields and...
- This is a $34,146 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for the project "TWSC SUPPORT FOR ASTEROIDS, COMETS, METEORS 2023". The award supports NAU's research and technical services related to asteroids, comets, and meteors. As a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, NAU has a strong track record of providing scientific research, environmental monitoring, and educational programming for federal agencies. The contract...
- This federal contract award, valued at $320,717.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to investigate the volatile (OH/H2O) content of near-Earth object (NEO) regoliths. The primary goal is the spectroscopic detection of the 3-µm OH/H2O absorption feature. This is a grant for scientific research, with a performance period ending on January 21, 2024. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that NAU was...
- This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC21K0114, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Northern Arizona University (NAU). The $346,813.64 grant is for a research project to identify water ice in newly discovered active asteroids that exhibit a comet-like tail but have asteroid-like orbits. The project does not have a set-aside designation. NAU, a public research university serving as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Native...
- This federal contract award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for the execution of a balanced science program. The $556,461.00 grant will fund NAU'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. The contract will also support NAU in advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This federal contract award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to characterize the variability in thermophysical properties of Mars analog deposits on Earth. The $124,639.97 training grant will allow NAU to generate new tools for investigating alteration and reworking in mafic sedimentary deposits on Mars and Earth, improve understanding of these geologic features, and further knowledge of past surface conditions on Mars,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $485,925.00, was granted to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the geomorphology, sedimentology, and mineralogy of temperate glacial landforms, specifically eskers sourced from mafic bedrock on Mars. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research with a performance period ending on August 13, 2025. As a public research university that serves as...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0313, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to support two asteroid characterization programs. Under this $95,338.37 grant, NAU will use near-infrared spectroscopy from the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility to study the compositions of near-Earth and main belt asteroids, with the goal of addressing the "missing mantle problem" and better understanding the formation and thermal evolution of early planetesimals. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting NAU's competitiveness as a research institution. This award aligns with NAU's extensive portfolio of federal grants and contracts, through which the university provides scientific research, environmental monitoring, and educational services to various government agencies, including NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Indian Health Service, and the Department of Defense.
