- This is a $452,580.81 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to conduct interdisciplinary research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, with a focus on investigating the physics and chemistry of solid and liquid material formation in the protoplanetary disk, and how those materials accreted into larger bodies. The research combines astrophysical-cosmochemical theory and modeling, petrological...
- This is a $472,997.60 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to investigate shock effects, conditions, and ages in the earliest impacts recorded in ordinary chondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand impact processes in the first 400 million years of the solar system's history. The research will utilize advanced mineralogical and microstructural analysis techniques, including polarized-light microscopy, Raman...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This is a $193,616.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is part of NASA's Exobiology Program and is focused on improving the understanding of large asteroid and comet impacts and their effects on the environment and climate, particularly in relation to mass extinction events like the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction. The key objectives...
- The Research Foundation for the State University of New York was awarded an $857,278 research grant effective January 1, 2022, with completion targeted for June 30, 2026. This civilian-funded research initiative, administered through a Shared Services Center, focuses on remote sensing, spacecraft observations, and sample return analysis to investigate the physical and compositional properties of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). The research objectives include comparative analysis of asteroids such...
- This is a $498,582 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Rochester, a private research university in New York, for a project to develop new methods to assess the magnetic properties of meteorites. The specific goals are to (1) develop new tests using electron microscopy to evaluate the magnetic recording fidelity of meteorites, (2) apply these methods to carbonaceous chondrites to determine if their magnetizations indicate internal or...
- This is a $526,000.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to study the influence of debris released by giant impacts on the late formation and evolution of the inner solar system. The research will use dynamical methods and results of impact simulations to understand how debris from large impacts on the terrestrial planets, such as the Moon-forming impact on Earth, may have played an important role in the evolution of...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to characterize the material properties of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and main belt asteroids and develop technology to scale up the measurement of pre-atmospheric orbits of meteorite falls. The goal is to compare the orbital elements of different meteorite types to dynamical models of the orbital evolution of small asteroids, in order to statistically...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
- This is a $660,000 scientific research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program and supports research to understand the chemical, structural, and isotopic characteristics of organic materials in chondritic meteorites. The goal is to study how various parent body processes, such as aqueous alteration and thermal processing, have affected...
