- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), a non-profit organization, to conduct research on the role of magmatic gas in the formation of Martian brines. The award, with a completion date of December 19, 2027, is classified as a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. RFSUNY, which serves as the fiscal agent for federal contract and grant awards...
- This is a $77,891.49 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The grant supports research relevant to several key science objectives for the Mars 2020 mission, including characterizing the processes that formed and modified the geologic record within a field exploration area on Mars. There is no set-aside designation for this award, which has an...
- This federal contract award was granted by a civilian agency, the Shared Services Center, to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University, a prominent non-profit research institution. The $922,354 grant is for research to estimate the bulk density and porosity of rock outcrops on Mars using thermal inertia data from the Curiosity rover's ground temperature sensor. The goal is to help interpret the depositional and diagenetic...
- This is a $371,915.30 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The goal of the proposed work is to perform quantitative unmixing of carbonate-bearing lithologies across Mars and determine the carbonate, phyllosilicate, and other mineral abundances, as well as constrain the inventory of carbon dioxide in carbonate-bearing rocks...
- This is a $454,091 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, to conduct research on the contributions of magmatic gas and Martian surface interactions to Martian fines.
