- This is a $349,910.76 research grant awarded by NASA to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) exospheres of Mercury. The grant, which runs from May 2015 to November 2020, will analyze data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) instrument on the MESSENGER spacecraft to improve understanding of the processes behind Mercury's exosphere and space weathering. The research aims to reveal the temporal and spatial variability of...
- This is a $129,703.06 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder for a research project titled "A Comprehensive Model for Mercury's Exosphere from MESSENGER Data". The grant is funded under NASA's Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP), which aims to enhance the scientific return of Discovery Program missions. The purpose of the research is to use data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer...
- This is a $435,469.13 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center on June 1, 2016 for the project "Characterizing Mercury's Energetic Electron Events: A Phenomenological Study of a Unique Magnetosphere." The grant supports a study of the transient bursts of energetic particles produced in Mercury's magnetosphere, using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The research focuses on four main aspects of...
- This $192,613.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the history and composition of explosive volcanic deposits on the planet Mercury. The research aims to determine when these deposits formed and analyze variations in the volatile gas fraction and magma composition across the deposits. It will leverage data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER)...
- This is a $352,184.57 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports research to better understand the physical processes governing the generation of Mercury's alkali exosphere. The proposed work involves analyzing ground-based data and interconnecting magnetosphere, surface, and atmospheric models to address key science questions about the relative contributions of...
- This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, is for NASA to conduct ground-based observations of Mercury's exosphere. The primary goals are to: 1) Continue ongoing measurements of sodium, calcium, and potassium, and 2) Observe less abundant species such as aluminum, iron, manganese, and calcium ion to expand upon the observations made by the MESSENGER mission. This $392,043.66 grant is intended to provide long-term...
- This is a $319,012.72 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2016. The objective of this grant is to develop a comprehensive model of Mercury's magnetospheric magnetic field to better understand the interactions between Mercury's interior, surface, and magnetosphere, which is relevant to the Solar System Roadmap's goal of determining how the solar system evolved to its current state. The grant supports three main...
- This is a $134,694.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit university, to conduct research related to understanding Mercury's internally generated magnetic field. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to address limitations in current understanding due to the impact of external signals in Mercury's active magnetic environment. This award is not associated with a larger...
- This federal contract award, valued at $207,287.04, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on characterizing the geochemical terranes of the planet Mercury. The research aims to provide insights into the processes that dominated Mercury's crustal evolution, including the formation of the primary crust, volcanic resurfacing, and impact modification. The contract leverages data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface,...
- This was a $179,894.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) on July 28, 2017. The grant funded research to analyze tracking data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft mission, which was the first to orbit Mercury. The goal was to develop high-resolution gravity field models and estimate local variations in crustal density....
