- This is a $465,093 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System to support research on characterizing the vertical structure and composition of cloud particles associated with storm systems and features on Saturn. The research aims to enhance understanding of the dynamics of Saturn's polar vortices and the aftermath of the Great Storm of 2010-2011. The work will utilize data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping...
- This $388,942 federal grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Hampton University, a private, non-profit historically Black college and university (HBCU), to analyze the aftermath of Saturn's 2010-2011 Great Storm using data from the Cassini orbiter's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) and Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instruments. The grant will fund a detailed investigation of the temporal evolution of the storm's impact on Saturn's atmospheric structure and cloud...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its Madison campus division, received a $77,378.15 research grant from a civilian federal agency to support planetary science research on Saturn. The award, made on January 15, 2022, with a completion date of January 14, 2025, supports research aimed at better constraining the spatial and temporal/seasonal variations of chromophore and aerosol layers and gas composition on Saturn through consistent model structures and observational constraints. This...
- The University of Houston System has been awarded a $358,889 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on Saturn's atmospheric dynamics through analysis of Cassini/Vims (Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) observations. The work, which commenced on March 18, 2020 and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2026, will be performed at the University of Houston's facilities in Houston, Texas. This grant represents a straightforward research...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Hampton University, a private non-profit educational institution, to construct 2D wind maps of Saturn's atmosphere. The $109,762 grant aims to further the understanding of Saturn's dynamic meteorology by utilizing Cassini mission data and advanced cloud feature tracking software. The research addresses a deficiency in the current knowledge of Saturn's atmospheric dynamics compared to the more extensively...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a grant worth $136,590.00 to the Regents of the University of Idaho (University of Idaho) to conduct research using Cassini/VIMS near-infrared spectral mapping observations of Jupiter and Saturn. The research aims to provide solar system analogs for extrasolar giant planets and cloudy brown dwarfs by analyzing the night sides of Jupiter and Saturn to generate disk-integrated light curves and attribute variations to...
- This is a $618,627.78 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the interior of Saturn using data from the Cassini spacecraft's "Grand Finale" orbits. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework to understand the dynamics of helium rain and the effects of composition gradients in Saturn's interior. The project will leverage first-principles materials simulations and thermal evolution modeling to compare predicted gravity field data...
- This $342,213 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will fund research to better understand the internal structure and differential rotation of the planet Saturn. The work will analyze data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to identify and characterize density and bending waves within Saturn's rings. These waves are believed to be generated by persistent asymmetries in Saturn's gravitational...
- This is a $96,042 training grant awarded by NASA to Hampton University, a private non-profit educational institution and Historically Black College/University (HBCU), to study the seasonal variability of Saturn's wind profile and vertical wind shear using Cassini spacecraft imagery. The project aims to leverage the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) camera data from 2004-2013 to characterize the upper tropospheric and mid-tropospheric wind fields on Saturn using cloud tracking techniques....
- This is a $272,940 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to further the understanding of the link between auroral particle precipitation and the production of complex organic molecules, such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in Saturn's high-latitude stratosphere and thermosphere. The work will involve photochemical...
