- This is a $580,738 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for "Compositional and Photometric Studies Along the MSL Traverse." The grant is part of a larger contract vehicle between NASA and The Johns Hopkins University, as the university holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) services. The contract has no set-aside...
- This is a $431,265.61 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university. The grant supports a research project with the objectives of identifying stratigraphic tie points and correlating layered sedimentary deposits on Mars through analysis of physical, spectroscopic, and thermophysical properties. The goal is to establish the first regional framework for equatorial layered...
- This is a $1,033,138.15 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a research project focused on understanding the particle dynamics in a high-speed jet during the landing phase of Mars missions. The project aims to develop advanced diagnostic tools to study the plume-soil interaction and dust entrainment that occur when a lander's rocket engines interact with the Martian surface during descent. This research is intended to...
- This is a $599,481.00 grant awarded by a civilian government agency to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, for a project involving surveys of Noachian terrain on Mars to study the prevalence and variety of alteration phases formed through weathering, elevated pressure/temperature, burial diagenesis, and hydrothermal alteration. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. As a leading federal contractor and grantee, The Johns...
- This is a $1,400,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a leading private research university, to execute a balanced science program. The grant will focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The grant also includes efforts to develop a target-user focused approach...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $505,597 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on August 24, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2026. This civilian research grant supports scientific work designed to enhance the return from NASA's Mars missions through the generation and interpretation of impact crater catalogs derived from visible-wavelength image data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's Context Camera (CTX). The award carries no set-aside...
- This is a $362,060.26 grant from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded to The Johns Hopkins University to study unusual terrain features on the western flank of Olympus Mons on Mars. The research aims to characterize the origin and formational history of these anomalous terrains, which exhibit elevated thermal inertia, variable albedo, and possible indicators of recent aqueous activity or presence of salt-bearing materials. The grant...
- This is a $302,427.49 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is part of NASA's Lunar Data Analysis Program and aims to use data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument to characterize the mineralogy and cooling rates of orthopyroxene-rich deposits on the lunar surface. The research seeks to understand the evolution of the lunar crust and mantle by analyzing the composition and provenance of these...
- This is a $195,464.70 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the composition and layering of the Martian surface. The research aims to use data from the Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer to map the distribution and depth of compositionally distinct subsurface layers on Mars, and compare these findings to other Mars datasets. This grant is part of NASA's "Global Characterization of Near-Surface...
- This $449,700.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University on April 14, 2021. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is relevant to NASA's Planetary Data Archive and Research Tools (PDART) program, which aims to enhance the scientific accessibility of data from missions such as Rosetta. The grant will fund research work that supports this objective, with a performance period extending through April 13, 2026. The...
This is a $389,273.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for research on analyzing multispectral data from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) and Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) missions. The grant is part of NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP), which aims to enhance the scientific return from Mars missions. The research will focus on studying the photometric behavior, surface scattering properties, and fine-scale surface structures of rocks and soils at the landing sites of the MER and MSL rovers using radiative transfer modeling. No set-aside was used for this award, and it is scheduled for completion by April 2, 2022. As a leading research university, The Johns Hopkins University has extensive experience supporting NASA and other federal agencies through prime and subcontract work in areas such as biomedical research, public health initiatives, and scientific analysis.
