- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Plancius Research LLC, a for-profit organization. The $237,223.11 grant is for a project to investigate the formation of carbonate deposits discovered in the Nili Fossae region of Mars, using data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. The research aims to test hypotheses about the origin of these carbonate materials, including...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University, a private Ivy League research university, to further assess the formation mechanisms and mineral compositions of carbonate-bearing regions on Mars. The $191,120.65 grant is part of NASA's "INTERCOMPARISON OF MARTIAN CARBONATE-BEARING DEPOSITS" program and seeks to use Hapke radiative transfer modeling of spectral data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for...
- This is a $338,421.53 grant award to The Johns Hopkins University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to deliver two suites of high-level data products and visualizations from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument. The data products will provide the Mars science community with CRISM hyperspectral targeted observations that have been systematically corrected for atmospheric, photometric, and...
- This is a $525,592 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the non-profit Seti Institute. The grant will fund research to investigate the occurrence of the mineral jarosite and its aluminum-bearing counterpart alunite on the surface of Mars. This research aims to determine the environmental conditions that supported the formation and preservation of these indicator minerals, which can provide insights into the temperature, pH, and presence of liquid water...
- This is a $485,719 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research using high-resolution hyperspectral data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. The research aims to better understand the geochemical evolution of the Martian crust, including the distribution and implications of aqueously altered mineral deposits. Key objectives are to map the occurrence of carbonate, phyllosilicate, and hydrated...
- This is a $96,651 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project to investigate the composition and formation of domes and hills in the Arcadia Planitia region of Mars. The project aims to use data from various Mars orbital instruments, including the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) and the Thermal...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research investigating the geology and aqueous alteration history of the South Isidis region of Mars. The $479,900 grant will fund analyses of orbital spectral and imaging data to address specific science questions, including the formation of phyllosilicates, carbonates, and other minerals, the effects of geologic processes like the Isidis...
- This $187,978 grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to the distribution and variability of water-formed minerals on Mars. The work will leverage spectral data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument to improve the understanding of the Martian surface. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program and has an ultimate...
- This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research organization. The goal of the grant is to develop a better understanding of how surface water sources and sinks at the Martian poles interact with the global climate system. The research will primarily utilize data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, including CRISM, MCS, and MARCI. The grant seeks to address key...
- This federal award is a $207,308 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project to analyze and interpret sedimentary and hydrated deposits in the Ladon Basin region of Mars, with implications for the aqueous history of the Margaritifer Terra region. The project will utilize multiple datasets and analyses, including HiRISE and CTX imagery, CRISM...
