The award, announced February 1, 2024, supports research titled "Is Titan Pushing Saturn Around? Resolving the Saturn Magnetospheric Hydrogen Controversy." This investigation aligns with NASA's planetary science objectives, specifically addressing fundamental questions about the interaction between Saturn's moon Titan and the planetary...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $104,636.64 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to provide basic scientific research support for the Cassini Radar mission and assist with Huygens closeout activities. Under this grant, Johns Hopkins will analyze Cassini data, give scientific presentations, attend project meetings, support public outreach efforts, and publish results. The grant also covers the preparation of a "gazetteer"...
- The U.S. government awarded a $322,419 grant for research to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under contract number 80NSSC20K0478, will fund research related to the Cassini spacecraft's exploration of Saturn's innermost radiation belt. This radiation belt is distinct from the previously known belts and is governed by different physics. The grant has an...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $500,941 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to investigate the source of nitrogen in Saturn's magnetosphere and resolve questions regarding the Titan neutral torus. The award, issued on February 1, 2024, carries an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027, and represents a full and open competition with no small business set-aside designation. Work will be performed in Baltimore, Maryland,...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $135,000 grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study co-condensed ice clouds in the stratosphere of Titan, based on discoveries from the Cassini-Huygens mission. The grant runs through August 31, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation. Johns Hopkins has a history of receiving prime and subcontract awards from federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The $170,087.56 grant is for a research project to quantify the strength and radial extent of the non-rotational electric field at Saturn, using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Magnetosphere Imaging Instrument (MIMI). The goal is to analyze charged particle data to better...
This is a $305,251 federal grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on June 1, 2019. The grant supports research to characterize the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere and ring system using data from the Cassini-Huygens mission's Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer. The proposed work will involve a detailed mass spectrometry analysis to quantify the abundances of major and minor atmospheric constituents, as well as investigate the interactions between Saturn's atmosphere and rings. This research directly aligns with NASA's goals to enhance scientific understanding from the Cassini mission data. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the research is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2023. As a leading research university, The Johns Hopkins University has extensive experience supporting NASA and other federal agencies through prime contracts and subcontracts for scientific analysis, technology development, and public health initiatives.
