The grant will extend the restoration of lunar...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K0960, was granted to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. The $391,802 grant is for research related to the detection and study of exomoons, which are moons orbiting planets outside our solar system. This research is expected to be completed by July 31, 2025. The contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,988,294.21, was granted to the University of New Mexico (UNM) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The award, with a performance period ending on May 1, 2024, will support UNM's examination and analysis of lunar soil samples from the Apollo 17 mission. Specifically, the team will study volatile reservoirs and cycles on the Moon, investigate the magmatic-thermal history, analyze a lunar avalanche deposit, and assess the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, to produce and archive high-resolution (20-meter) mineral maps of the Moon. The project leverages existing spectral data from various lunar missions to generate and validate these mineral maps, which will be invaluable for future lunar science studies. The grant has a potential value of $346,047.01...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AN56G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $422,128.89 grant is part of the Lunar Data Analysis Program (LDAP) and aims to study the interior structure of the Moon using electromagnetic sounding with data from the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction...
- This is a $163,729.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) to research the frequency-dependence of the Moon's degree 2 Love numbers and tidal dissipation factor. The grant will leverage tracking data from multiple lunar satellite missions, including Lunar Prospector, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, and the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. This research aims to better constrain the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
- The federal contract award with ID 80NSSC21K1719 was granted to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, to conduct research using lunar topographic data collected by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Kaguya spacecraft. The $695,041.00 grant, awarded on January 1, 2022, is being funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a performance period ending on December 31, 2025. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor,...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was made to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), a public research university. The $248,961.81 grant is for the "Localized Analysis of GRAIL Data for High-Resolution Gravity Field Determination" project, which aims to produce high-resolution local gravity maps of the Moon using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $799,354.00 grant for research to the Astrobotic Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the project "COSMIC CAREERS FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON" under contract number 80NSSC24K0979. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027 and is being performed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Astrobotic Foundation, which operates the Moonshot Museum, is the prime...
This federal contract award, NNX15AI99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to build MoonDB, an online, quality-controlled data system that will restore and synthesize lunar sample data from the literature and unpublished legacy data. The $493,805.29 grant-funded project aims to dramatically advance the preservation, access, and utility of lunar sample data to generate new scientific knowledge. MoonDB will serve as a platform for researchers to submit and publish datasets, ensuring that all sample and analytical metadata crucial for future research are preserved. The project aligns with NASA's Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program objectives to archive and restore data sets, consolidate reference databases, digitize data, and provide software tools for analysis. This is not a set-aside contract.
