- This is a $382,860 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate the potential for early aqueous processes on Venus and their effects on the planet's subsequent geological evolution. The research aims to provide insights into the early history of Venus, including the possibility of an ancient ocean and its impacts on the Venus' atmosphere and surface composition. The work complements climate modeling efforts to...
- This is a $479,712.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
- This is a $500,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to continue research on the applicability of Stored Chemical Energy Power Systems (SCEPS) for in-situ solar system exploration. The research seeks to mature a concept for using SCEPS to power a lander on the surface of Venus, where conventional battery or plutonium-powered systems have deficiencies. The study will also explore the...
- The Pennsylvania State University has been awarded a $435.7K grant (Contract 23-SSW23-0067) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct an analog field study examining whether planview dune cross-sets can be used for bedform reconstruction to support Mars data analysis. The grant, issued on August 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, will be performed at Penn State's University Park campus. This research initiative represents Penn State's...
- This $448,700.00 federal grant award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for research on the "Paleogeography of the Intercrater Martian Highlands from Fluvial Sedimentology Integrated Corridors or Isolated Basins." The grant is for a period of approximately 3 years, with a final completion date of August 15, 2027. Penn State, a major public research university, has an extensive portfolio of federal contract and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $606,496.77 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the distribution of thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere of Venus and hot oxygen in the Venus corona. This research will utilize the University of Michigan's Venus Thermosphere General Circulation Model (VTGCM) and a three-dimensional rarefied gas-kinetic model called V-AMPS, which is based on the Mars Adaptive Mesh Simulator (M-AMPS). The...
- The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, has been awarded a $148,048 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on carbon and nitrogen isotope signatures in extraterrestrial organics. The research will utilize picomolar scale compound-specific isotope analysis techniques. The grant is set to run through December 31, 2025. Penn State, a public research university and one of the nation's original land-grant institutions, has a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $275,868.00 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to recover, clean, document, and package ionospheric and atmospheric profiles acquired by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) radio occultation investigation. This effort is aligned with the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program's call for proposals to restore and archive important planetary datasets. The...
