- Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $322,978 research grant to conduct advanced backscatter modeling of Titan's surface using integrated Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and altimetry data. The grant, issued on January 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, represents a civilian research initiative supporting planetary science investigations. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting Cornell's broad competitive...
- This is a $89,586.82 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) training grant awarded to Cornell University to study the geomorphology of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The study will use topographic and imaging data from the Cassini spacecraft to map the three-dimensional forms of Titan's polar landscapes and understand the surface processes shaping its hydrological cycle. The goal is to generate a comprehensive geomorphologic map of Titan's polar regions and apply landscape evolution...
- This contract award to Cornell University, a prestigious private research institution, is for the project "Exploring the Surface of Titan with the Cassini RSS Bistatic Radar Experiments". The $597,858 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund research related to the Cassini mission's radar investigations of Saturn's moon Titan. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Cornell's broad capabilities to compete for federal...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York. The $359,258.47 grant is for research to model and constrain surface wind speeds on Saturn's moon Titan using data from the Cassini spacecraft. The research aims to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by directly addressing the understanding of Titan's climate. Specifically, the research...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York. The contract, valued at $417,895.00, is a grant for research to support the analysis of data from the Cassini spacecraft's radar altimeter and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments to investigate the hydrocarbon-based hydrologic system on Titan, one of Saturn's moons. The research aims to determine the bathymetry...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,902.00 grant to Cornell University for the Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP). The grant supports research to analyze data from the Cassini mission to Saturn. Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York, is the prime recipient of this grant. No set-aside designations were indicated for this award. Through past federal contracts and grants, Cornell has provided a variety of research,...
- Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $150,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to conduct numerical modeling of wind-driven waves on Titan's hydrocarbon lakes and seas. The research, identified as contract 23-PLANET23-0137, aims to elucidate coastal geomorphology and investigate the enigmatic "magic islands" phenomenon observed on Saturn's moon. The grant, awarded on August 21, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to study the geological features and processes on the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. The goal is to understand how cryovolcanism, tectonism, seismicity, mass wasting, impacts, and thermophysical processes have shaped the small-scale surface features on Enceladus, using high-resolution imagery from the Cassini spacecraft. The work also aims to demonstrate the use of...
- This $342,213 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will fund research to better understand the internal structure and differential rotation of the planet Saturn. The work will analyze data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to identify and characterize density and bending waves within Saturn's rings. These waves are believed to be generated by persistent asymmetries in Saturn's gravitational...
- This is a $211,139 NASA grant awarded to Cornell University to study the axial tilt of Titan's atmosphere using Cassini spacecraft imaging data. The grant supports research on the seasonal modulation of Titan's super-rotating atmosphere and will develop a mechanistic model to understand the processes driving the observed atmospheric tilt. This work builds on previous studies that identified the tilt between Titan's rotation pole and atmospheric symmetry axis. As the solar forcing changes and the...
