No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting Cornell's broad competitive...
- This federal contract award is for a research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to conduct a "Numerical Study of the Dynamical History of the Saturnian Satellite System." The grant has a ceiling value of $171,368.81 and an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York, is the prime awardee on this contract. The contract does not have a set-aside designation....
- 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 (NNX15AJ95G) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University, a private research university, to analyze data from the Very Large Array (VLA) of Saturn and its rings at various wavelengths. The analysis will address questions about the origin and particle properties of Saturn's rings, as well as reveal insights into the planet's deep atmospheric structure. This $429,781 grant-funded research project does not have a set-aside...
- This contract is a $908,790.20 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to Cornell University to fund the continuation of the Principal Investigator's work as a co-investigator on the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) experiment and the Associate Team Member's work on the Cassini Radio Science experiment. The work entails planning Cassini CIRS and radio-science observations of the Saturn system, analyzing data from these observations, and contributing to the archiving and observation...
- 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 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 and composition of Ontario Lacus, reveal the structure of fluvial valleys and small lakes relative to Titan's seas, and investigate the potential for equatorial liquid deposits. This contract is not associated with a set-aside designation and is part of NASA's broader "DIGGING FOR HYDROCARBON GOLD WITH THE CASSINI RADAR ALTIMETER" program.
