- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) for $757,667.00. The goal of the project is to conduct observations of small bodies in the solar system to test current models of solar system dynamics. Specifically, the research will characterize a set of minimally active objects on long-period comet orbits to understand the distribution of small body surface material types. This work is relevant to NASA's cross-cutting themes...
- This is a $295,959.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a three-year research effort to search for evidence of shallow ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research tasks involve global mapping and characterization of surface features indicative of subsurface ice, such as sublimation terrains, polygonal patterned ground, and domed hills. The findings will be correlated...
- 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...
- The University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa, a public university system in Hawaii, has been awarded a $387,539 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on surface-exposed water ice on the Moon. The research aims to directly detect this ice through its unique infrared (IR) absorptions, with the potential to infer up to 30% ice by weight. The grant has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UH's...
- This is a $477,090.33 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH), a public university system in Hawaii. The grant is for research to understand early and late-stage processes in the solar system, including the distribution of aluminum-26 and oxygen isotope reservoirs, the origins of ultra-refractory inclusions, and the formation of plastically deformed calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs). Additionally, the research aims to study...
- The University of Hawaii (UH) has been awarded a $2,814,649 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "FLIGHT RECEIVERS FOR ORBITAL REMOTE SENSING OF BURIED LUNAR ICE DEPOSITS VIA CORALS: THE COSMIC RAY LUNAR SOUNDER" project. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for research related to the remote sensing of lunar ice deposits using cosmic ray detectors. UH, the prime recipient, is a public university system and the primary...
- 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 $811,427.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant, titled "ISOTOPIC EVOLUTION OF PROTOPLANETARY DISK RECORDED BY REFRACTORY INCLUSIONS AND CHONDRULES IN CH AND CB CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES," will support research related to the study of protoplanetary disks and meteorites. The University of Hawaii is the prime awardee and there is no set-aside designation. The grant has an ultimate...
- 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...
- This is a $583,805.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to investigate processes occurring on planetary bodies and minor bodies and define the physical and chemical processes that affect the surfaces of planetary bodies. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025. UH is the prime contractor for this award, which is not a set-aside contract. This grant is part of NASA's broader research initiatives on...
