This federal contract award, NNX15AI99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to build MoonDB, an online, quality-controlled data system that will restore and synthesize lunar sample data from the literature and unpublished legacy data. The $493,805.29 grant-funded project aims to dramatically advance the preservation, access, and utility of lunar sample data to generate new...
This is a $692,483 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University to execute a balanced science program. The contract is focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines. The grant will also support the development of a directorate-wide,...
This is a $640,606.62 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to generate a comprehensive lunar crater database. The objective is to acquire detailed morphology and morphometry data for lunar craters one kilometer and larger in diameter, which will significantly enhance the utility of this database for the planetary science research community. The work will leverage publicly available data from the Lunar...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $356,505.00 grant to Brown University to conduct research on constraining the Li and B budget and d7Li and d11B ratios of the Moon's interior using lunar volcanic glasses, melt inclusions, olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts. This is a 5-year research grant that runs from January 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025. The award was made without a set-aside designation and represents basic scientific research funded by NASA to further...
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 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
This is a $163,729.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to research the frequency-dependence of the Moon's degree 2 Love numbers and tidal dissipation factor. The grant will leverage tracking data from multiple lunar satellite missions, including Lunar Prospector, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. This research aims to better constrain the...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $499,531.00 grant to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - Kingsborough Community College to conduct research on the effects of impact cratering and shock metamorphism on the surfaces of airless planetary bodies like the Moon. The research will involve shock recovery experiments, infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis to characterize the deformation and...
