This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The $250,798.00 grant will fund research to understand the role of sintering, a temperature-dependent process that modifies the physical properties of ice, in the evolution of planetary surfaces across the solar system. The work will involve laboratory experiments to quantify the sintering of water ice under different conditions, as well as modeling efforts to apply the results to icy bodies like Europa, Enceladus, and Mars. This research aligns with NASA's Solar System Workings program objectives to characterize planetary surfaces and understand the processes that shape them over time. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive capabilities in planetary science research. PSI frequently collaborates with university partners on NASA-funded projects related to planetary exploration and space science.
