- This is a $694,642.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for scientific research. The study will focus on three main objectives: (1) analyzing the mineralogy, geochemistry, and textural characteristics of paleosols to better understand microbial processing, (2) examining fluvial transport processes and developing 3D digital outcrop models, and (3) searching for macroscopic evidence of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for research to the University of Tennessee, doing business as the University of Tennessee System Office, in the amount of $208,907.00. The proposed research is directly relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings Program, which includes studies of analog field settings for geologic and geochemical processes on planetary bodies like Mars. The research aims to improve the understanding of in-situ measurements made by orbital...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1055, was granted to the University of Tennessee (Univ Tennessee System Office) for a three-year period to reprocess monostatic radar data of the Moon acquired by the Mini-RF instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The $395,065.00 grant is for scientific research, with no set-aside designation noted. The University of Tennessee, a major public land-grant research university system, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AL98G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee. The $130,000.00 grant supports the university's research focused on quantifying the timing and nature of igneous processes that occurred during the formation of the Moon and Mars. Key areas of study include investigating the origin of enriched Martian meteorites (shergottites), analyzing the nature of volatiles in lunar minerals and rocks, and dating...
This federal contract award to the University of Tennessee, operating as Univ Tennessee System Office, provides $440,443.53 in funding for research on the thermal evolution of chondritic and achondritic meteorite parent asteroids. The research aims to better understand the metamorphism and differentiation processes that occurred on these planetesimals through the use of a rare earth element-based pyroxene thermometer. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Tennessee, a major public land-grant research university, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and providing analytical services to various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA. The university frequently collaborates with other institutions on large, multi-year research initiatives funded through both contract awards and grants.
