- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $312,650 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. As the prime contractor, the University will support NASA's research efforts by analyzing approximately 19,500 images of Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft's imaging science subsystem at a wavelength of 938 nanometers, which provides the best window for probing Titan's surface composition using this...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $263,646.92 grant for research to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports UCLA's objectives to investigate the role of moist convection in the atmospheric circulation and global hydrologic cycle of Saturn's moon Titan. The research leverages two numerical models - the Titan Regional Atmospheric Modeling...
- This federal contract award was granted by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The $350,641 grant is for research to probe the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) instruments. The research aims to determine the vertical...
- This is a $349,576.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the ultraviolet airglow emissions from Titan as observed by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). The research aims to analyze the behavior of Titan's dayglow and nightglow over a solar cycle using the extensive UVIS dataset collected from 2004 to 2015. The study will leverage modeling tools to better understand the sources of Titan's nightglow,...
- This is a $321,657 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant is for research related to NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn, which studied the planet's atmosphere and Titan's methane-based weather systems. As a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, the University of Arizona has extensive expertise across scientific and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $563,329 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support research explaining Titan's topography through modeling the influence of crustal clathrates and organics. As the prime contractor, the University of Hawaii will deliver the contracted research services with no set-aside designation involved. The modeling work will provide NASA insights to support its Outer Planets Research program's goal of advancing understanding...
- The University of Arizona (operating as the Arizona Board of Regents) received a $443,494.91 research grant awarded on June 1, 2019, by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2025. The grant supports continued analysis of Saturn's upper atmosphere using data from the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) instrument. The research builds upon previous occultation observations that have provided extensive constraints on Saturn's atmospheric density,...
- This is a $338,303.17 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to analyze observations of the UV airglow emissions from Saturn's upper atmosphere using the Hubble Space Telescope's UVIS instrument. The analysis will investigate the structure of Saturn's thermosphere and constrain the hydrogen abundance and energy deposition processes. This research will also facilitate studies of Saturn's ionosphere, the interaction of the ring system...
- This is a $316,184.93 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The research will study the emission morphology of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) from Titan's atmosphere using a combination of numerical modeling and Cassini spacecraft observations. The goal is to characterize the asymmetries in Titan's induced magnetosphere and improve the interpretation of...
- This is a research grant awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit applied research organization. The grant, valued at $120,580.83, will fund a study on the role of aerosols and cloud formation in Titan's atmosphere. The objectives are to: 1) measure the vapor pressure of benzene at Titan-relevant temperatures, 2) produce analogs of Titan's aerosols and study benzene condensation, 3) use experimental data to model cloud formation, and 4) compare results to...
