The contract, valued at $415,431.00, is a grant for research with a period of performance extending to May 6, 2026. The contract is focused on supporting NASA's Mars Exploration Program, specifically the search for...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AH46G, was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization located in Tucson, Arizona. The $346,185.00 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings program. The purpose of the award is to characterize, through field, laboratory, and theoretical modeling, the sedimentology and hydrology of terrestrial stepped fans and their analogy to Martian alluvial fans. This...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AM44G, was granted by NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for $387,748.00 and supports research focused on the geology of the Alba Mons summit region on Mars. The objectives include analyzing volcanic, tectonic, and erosional features to better understand the geologic evolution and timing of heat sources in the Martian interior. The research will utilize data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions. As part of the work, PSI will produce a 1:1,000,000-scale geologic map of the study area for publication by the U.S. Geological Survey. This contract award is not designated as a set-aside and is part of NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program, which aims to enhance the scientific return from Mars exploration missions.
