This is a $534,205.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct lunar mineral mapping research. The grant will utilize data from lunar remote sensing missions like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-1, and Kaguya to map the mineralogy and infer the vertical structure of the lunar crust. The research aims to address key questions about the composition and formation of the lunar...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, to produce and archive high-resolution (20-meter) mineral maps of the Moon. The project leverages existing spectral data from various lunar missions to generate and validate these mineral maps, which will be invaluable for future lunar science studies. The grant has a potential value of $346,047.01...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $446,015.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, to conduct research related to the Chang'E 2 Lunar Microwave Radiometer (MRM) mission. The MRM collected the first-ever global maps of the Moon at various microwave frequencies over the full lunar day-night cycle, providing a unique data set not available from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance mission. This grant-funded...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $438,122 grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to generate and make publicly available a global, seam-corrected mosaic of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera (CTX) data rendered at 5.0 meters per pixel and registered to Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data. The product will incorporate feedback from over 30 Mars scientists and represent a 400-fold improvement in spatial resolution over the current...
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 $507,151.55 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the lunar water cycle. The research aims to identify the soil properties that favor the formation and retention of hydroxyl (OH) and water (HOH) on the lunar surface, as observed by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument. The project will use data from various lunar missions, including Clementine, Lunar Reconnaissance...
This is a $88,159 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to execute a balanced science program. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category. Caltech, as the prime contractor, will focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. This includes advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities...
This is a $1,212,991.00 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) to develop an airborne measurement capability to support accurate absolute lunar calibration of space-based instruments used to monitor Earth's oceans. The goal is to establish the Moon as a stable, consistent long-term calibration reference for these Earth observation instruments, which require extremely precise radiometric measurements, particularly for ocean color...
This federal contract award is a $119,815.41 grant for research to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a public state university in Hawaii. The contract is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and supports three tasks related to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) extended mission goals in the lunar polar regions. The tasks involve using data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument and Kaguya Spectral Profiler to create maps of lunar mineralogy...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) investigation and associated science. The grant, valued at $819,905.42, covers research activities, operation of the LOLA instrument, and data processing for archiving at the Planetary Data System. The award is not associated with a set-aside program and has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2020. MIT, as...
