- This federal contract award, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides a grant of $397,083.67 to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant's objectives are to map the distribution and thickness of the Latitude Dependent Mantle (LDM), an ice-rich soil deposit on Mars, using data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Global Surveyor. This research aims to improve understanding of the LDM's origin, climate significance, and in-situ resource...
- This contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) worth $101,290.81 was granted to the University of Texas at Austin to determine the origin of debris layers on Mars' glaciers and explore their radar properties. The project aims to integrate analysis of radar sounding data with geomorphic mapping and thermal inertia data to better understand the composition and preservation of these debris-covered glaciers. This research supports multiple NASA Science Mission...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1093, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University, a public research university in College Station, Texas. The $291,968 grant is for a two-year study to determine the origin of surface boulder distribution patterns in the Martian northern lowlands. The research will analyze high-resolution imaging data from the NASA HiRISE instrument to better understand periglacial processes on Mars, such as...
- This is a $196,810.00 grant award to the University of Texas at Austin from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research titled "WHAT ARE THE RADAR BRIGHT TERRAINS ON MARS?". The award is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle. The University of Texas at Austin is the prime grantee, and the award is part of NASA's broader research program focused on understanding the geology and surface features of Mars. As a major research university, the...
- The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $460,566.60 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate Martian terrains using radar surface-echo characteristics. This grant, titled "MDAP STEP 1: DECIPHERING THE MARTIAN SURFACE AND NEAR-SURFACE WITH RADAR STATISTICS OBJECTIVES," aims to address a wide range of science objectives relevant to Mars research. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on...
- This federal contract award, valued at $118,999.98, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the formation processes of the Martian Polar Layered Terrains (PLTs). The goal is to quantify the yearly accumulation rates of water ice and dust on Mars under current and past climatic conditions, in order to decipher the record of recent Martian climate history contained in the PLTs. This contract is not set aside for...
- This is a $277,638.84 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant supports a three-part project to study the process and resulting outlet valley morphometry associated with Martian lake overflow floods during the early history of the planet. The research aims to address critical outstanding questions about the ancient Martian paleolake basins and deeply incised valleys, which provide...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K1519, was granted to Texas A&M University, a public land-grant research university located in College Station, Texas. The $1,195,329.00 grant is for a 3-year research study that aims to integrate terrain analysis and science operations to improve exploration of mafic detrital environments, using the Argo J-5 rover and an unmanned aerial system (UAS). The research will evaluate the effectiveness of rover-based semi-automated terrain analysis and...
- This federal contract award NNX15AM37G was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to enhance the scientific return from current and future missions to Mars. The $298,418 grant is focused on quantitatively determining trends in rates and directions of aeolian (wind-driven) bedform migration, volumetric sediment fluxes, abrasion rates, and turnover times under current Martian climatic conditions. The...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K0505, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a public research university and component of the University of Texas System. The $578,272.14 grant is for a research project titled "CHEMICAL DIFFERENTIATION IN PLANETESIMALS IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM LEADS TO MELTING OF BOTH METALLIC AND SILICATE PHASES." The research aims to improve the modeling of metal and...
