- This is a $287,521.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a non-profit research organization. The grant supports two interdependent tasks: 1) characterizing the geochemical, petrological, and geophysical records of lunar mare provinces that lack clear associations with large impact basins, and 2) using numerical modeling to constrain the volcanic and tectonic structure of these regions....
- This federal contract award is a $80,521.05 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA). The contract is focused on studying the morphology and composition of lunar basin ejecta using new data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and other recent missions. This work aims to better understand the crustal composition and structure of the Moon, including the potential for differentiated impact melt...
- This is a $155,646.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a 3-year research program to advance the understanding of the number, distribution, composition, and eruption characteristics of pyroclastic deposits on the Moon. The research aims to provide insight into early-stage lunar volcanism and identify potential resources, such as iron-rich volcanic...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AM42G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The $280,474.22 grant is for a research project that aims to combine ground-truth meteorological data with subsurface thermodynamic modeling to further the understanding of the lower Martian atmosphere. The objectives include constraining active water vapor sinks over the Curiosity...
- This federal contract award, valued at $140,774.84, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The contract supports an "Integrated Atmospheric and Subsurface Investigation of the Evolution of the Early Martian Hydrosphere" research project. The objective is to use climate models, topography data, and hydrology simulations to study the potential for habitable liquid...
- This $427,811.33 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) will support research into the effects of mafic magma intrusion into sulfur-rich Martian soils and sediments. The research aims to investigate an Earth analog site in the San Rafael Swell on the Colorado Plateau where mafic dikes have intruded gypsum-bearing sediments. The findings may be relevant to understanding the geological and potential...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $64,999 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to execute a balanced science program. The grant supports USRA's participation as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. USRA will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- The federal contract award with ID 80NSSC19K0641 was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, for a grant to support scientific research. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, has a ceiling value of $155,000.00 and a period of performance from March 13, 2019 to March 12, 2026. The work under this grant involves studying the diversity and origins of irregular mare...
- This is a $395,394 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a research project titled "Hydrothermal and Periglacial Processes Following Large Impact Events May Be of Fundamental Importance in the Creation of Environments Conducive to Organic Chemistry". The research is focused on studying volatile-rich impact melt and...
- This is a $520,958 federal grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The contract is for USRA to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. USRA will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiatives, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from...
This federal contract award with ID NNX15AH24G was granted by NASA to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to conduct a 3-year comparative analysis of topographic variations in lunar and Martian impact craters. The $365,999 grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program and aims to better understand the processes and material properties that influence crater shape and morphology. The research will leverage data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and Mars Express missions to analyze azimuthal and radial variations in crater rim height and floor depth across simple and complex crater morphologies. The goal is to expand the utility of existing scaling relationships and gain insights into how impact craters are modified by a planet's surface characteristics. This award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting USRA's status as a large nonprofit organization that regularly supports NASA's science missions and research priorities through contracts and grants.
