- This federal contract award, valued at $53,333.89, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to contribute to the planning of radiometry observations for the Vensar instrument on the upcoming Envision mission to Venus. UAF's Grants and Contracts Administration Division, operating as Grants & Contracts, will carry out the work. The contract has two primary tasks: (1) using previous Magellan mission data to identify...
- This is a $197,186 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, for a project titled "Temporal Evolution in the Style of Mantle Convection on Venus: The Role of Mantle, Lithosphere, and Atmospheric Coupling." The grant, which runs from February 2023 through February 2026, will fund research to study the interplay between Venus's mantle, lithosphere, and atmosphere...
This federal contract award, NNX15AL57G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division (Office of Research & Sponsored Programs) to conduct an experimental investigation on the stability of high-temperature volatiles (semi-metal compounds of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium) in the atmosphere of Venus and their interaction with the planet's surface. The primary objectives are to determine which atmospheric volatiles condense on or chemically react with the Venusian surface basalts as a function of temperature, and to assess the effects of the high Venusian pressure (95 bars of CO2 with and without SO2 or COS) on the stability of these products. The contract, valued at $330,576.98, does not have a set-aside designation and will support the university's research efforts until the ultimate completion date of December 18, 2019. The University of Arkansas is the prime contractor on this grant for research, leveraging its expertise in science, engineering, and related disciplines to contribute to NASA's understanding of the Venusian environment.
