- This federal contract award, valued at $9,290,842.24, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to develop and launch the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper (LunaH-Map) CubeSat. The 6U CubeSat will enter a polar orbit around the Moon with a low 5-12 km altitude perilune centered on the lunar South Pole. LunaH-Map will carry two neutron spectrometers to map the distribution of near-surface hydrogen within permanently shadowed regions of the...
- Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Orspa division, was awarded a $3.17 million grant on October 28, 2020, for the Lunar Polar Hydrogen Mapper - Part 2 (LUNAH-MAP) project, with performance based in Tempe, Arizona and a completion date of October 27, 2024. This civilian research grant, funded through a Shared Services Center, represents Part 2 of NASA's broader LUNAH-MAP initiative, which aims to map hydrogen deposits in the lunar polar regions to support future exploration and...
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Arizona State University (ASU) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The $1,024,020 grant, with a performance period ending on December 31, 2027, will have ASU participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit,...
- This is a $529,796 grant awarded to Arizona State University (ASU) by a U.S. government civilian agency, the Shared Services Center, to execute a balanced science program. The grant requires ASU to participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. ASU is tasked with advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional...
- This federal contract award is a $286,646.80 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on lunar impact melt samples. The goal is to use ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) technology to quantify the distribution of radiogenic argon-40 in ancient plagioclase crystals found in Apollo 15 and 16 lunar impact melt breccias. This will help constrain the ages and thermal histories of the impact melts. 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...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University for research on impact cratering across the solar system, including on Earth and the Moon. The $135,000.00 grant is for a research project with a completion date of August 31, 2024. The award was made on September 1, 2021 and does not have a set-aside designation. Arizona State University, a comprehensive public research university, is the prime recipient of this federal...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K1085, is a $250,597.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU). The contract, titled "EXPLORATION OF A VOLATILE-RICH ASTEROID FROM THE MACRO- TO THE NANO-SCALE," has an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2026. ASU, a prominent Hispanic-serving state-controlled educational institution, has a strong track record of executing federal contract and grant...
- This federal contract award to Arizona State University (ASU), doing business as Orspa, is a $1,223,590 grant for research to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as administration priorities and congressional direction. The award aims to have ASU participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars,...
- Arizona State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa) has been awarded a $150,000 research grant (contract 23-PLANET23-0129) by a civilian federal agency to investigate the effects of shock on water contents and hydrogen isotope systematics in nominally anhydrous minerals within lunar basalts. The research will be conducted at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus and is scheduled for completion by December 22, 2027. This award carries no set-aside designation and...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AJ59G, was granted by a U.S. government agency to Arizona State University (ASU) for the purpose of "IMPROVING THE GEOMETRY OF THE CLEMENTINE MISSION AND CREATING NEW MAPS TO ENHANCE FUTURE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS". The $225,189.00 grant aims to enhance the accuracy of cartographic products from the Clementine lunar mission by leveraging data from the more recent Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) missions. This work will support future scientific investigations of the lunar surface. The award does not have a set-aside designation. ASU, as the prime contractor, is a public research university that has a history of receiving federal contract and grant awards from agencies such as NASA, the Air Force, and the National Science Foundation for research, engineering, and other professional services.
