- This is a $382,737.21 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the formation conditions of volatile-bearing and water-deposited minerals on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to constrain the chemistry, mineralogy, and physical processes involved in water-rock interaction in carbon dioxide- and ammonia-rich systems on Ceres, as well as model post-impact aqueous processes that may have formed the...
- This is a $220,053.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for research on modeling the near-surface ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the processes responsible for the evolution of Ceres' surface, including the identification and interpretation of its compositions and stratigraphies, as well as modeling the state of Ceres' semi-bound atmosphere and the variability and volume of its water...
- This is a $475,804 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to characterize the spectral light-scattering properties of three geologically young features on the dwarf planet Ceres - Occator Crater, Ahuna Mons, and Haulani Crater. The goal is to better understand the cryovolcanic, cryomagmatic, and diapiric processes on Ceres, based on data from the Dawn mission....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $132,508.25 Training Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a detailed mineralogical study of small irregular satellites and Trojan asteroids of the giant planets. The research aims to test the hypothesis that these objects originate from the same source, which could provide insights into the early dynamic evolution of the solar system. This award supports NASA's goals for...
- This is a $342,348.34 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Active Asteroids are Interesting Because They Represent a New Population of Objects Where Surface Activity is Derived from a Range of Exogenic Factors Such as Hypervelocity Impacts, Rotational Instability Driven by YORP Effect." The grant is a civilian award with a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2024....
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a geologic mapping study of the dwarf planet Ceres. The study aims to characterize the distribution and timing of volatile- and ice-driven processes on the surface of Ceres, in order to address outstanding science questions about its internal evolution, impact record, and potential past (cryo)volcanic activity. The grant does...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $150,000 research grant (contract 23-PLANET23-0015) to investigate the hydrothermal history of primitive asteroids through coordinated microanalysis of carbonates in meteorites and returned samples. The grant, awarded by a civilian federal agency on November 1, 2024, will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027. This research initiative aligns with broader...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $117,286.00, is for theoretical modeling and research related to the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the geographic distribution and depth of water ice on Ceres' surface, as well as model its exosphere and its sources and sinks. This work is intended to aid in the...
- This is a $299,817 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project to quantify and reduce errors in observational elements of the water cycle in order to better understand the Earth system, weather processes, and changes in water and energy cycles. The grant is part of the University of Arizona's broader portfolio of research contracts and grants across disciplines...
