- This is a $472,997.60 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to investigate shock effects, conditions, and ages in the earliest impacts recorded in ordinary chondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand impact processes in the first 400 million years of the solar system's history. The research will utilize advanced mineralogical and microstructural analysis techniques, including polarized-light microscopy, Raman...
- This $105,999.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct observational and theoretical investigations into the formation of igneous rims around chondrules. The research aims to improve understanding of the processes that occurred in the early history of the solar system, with a focus on the formation and evolution of planetesimals and planetary bodies. The grant supports a highly...
- This is a $346,137 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to study the spectral properties of carbonaceous chondrites and their relationship to primitive asteroids. The research aims to understand how the presence, absence, and prevalence of mineral phases and chemical indicators of alteration affect the spectral attributes of these meteorites. The goal is to link the spectral signatures of carbonaceous chondrites...
- This $79,045.00 federal grant award was issued by the Shared Services Center of a civilian U.S. government agency to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is part of the ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity, which aims to execute a balanced science program, support the agency's exploration initiative, and advance discovery in emerging fields. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, as...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This is a $398,382.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to identifying and quantifying phyllosilicate (clay) minerals on planetary bodies throughout the solar system. The research aims to improve the ability to remotely detect and characterize these minerals, which are crucial indicators of past water-rock interactions. Key tasks include synthesizing and characterizing smectite...
- This is a $115,725.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The grant supports research to understand the history of water on the surface of Mars by studying minerals formed from water-rock interactions, specifically phyllosilicates and partially chloritized smectites. The research objectives are to synthesize and characterize partially...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $541,000 grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to examine chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in primitive meteorites to determine if they preserve evidence of volatile incorporation from the solar nebula and record open-system behavior during parent body alteration. The...
- This is a $302,973.88 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY) to conduct hypervelocity impact experiments on meteorites and analog materials. The goal is to measure the response of these materials to high-speed impacts and use the data to improve understanding of the collisional evolution of the asteroid belt, production of interplanetary dust, and asteroid cratering and disruption. The...
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $150,000 research grant (23-PLANET23-0249) from the Shared Services Center, the administrative arm of NASA, to investigate the distribution of sulfur in the early solar system through analysis of isotopic signatures in chondrites and achondrites. The award, announced on October 1, 2024, carries an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, and represents an unset-aside contract that competed in open federal procurement. The...
