This is a $444,327 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 supports a data analysis program focused on studying the properties and distribution of aerosols in the Martian middle atmosphere, using data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. The analysis will leverage existing radiative transfer and...
This is a $78,096 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to determine the effects of mineral particle clustering on Mars spacecraft spectral signatures and to refine the production of refractive indices corresponding to Mars dust laboratory analog spectra. The work aims to improve the understanding of Mars surface...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The award, valued at $234,480.00, supports a study to analyze data from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) to improve understanding of the Martian dust cycle and atmospheric processes in the South Polar Region. This research is relevant to NASA's Mars Exploration Program, as it...
This federal contract award is a $270,586.85 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant funds a mission concept targeting the study of Mars and its atmosphere, with a focus on monitoring the temporal evolution of dust and water ice aerosols, as well as changes in surface properties, from an areostationary orbit around Mars. The mission will utilize a low-cost 12U...
This is a $387,011 grant awarded by NASA to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for the re-calibration and expansion of the data collected by the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission. The goal is to re-process the TES data to improve the accuracy of retrievals for atmospheric aerosols, water vapor, and surface mineralogy. The new data products will be archived in the NASA...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $441,125 grant will fund a study to use the Insight lander's cameras to monitor atmospheric opacity, dust, and other meteorological phenomena on Mars over the course of the mission. The proposed work does not require any additional robotic arm movements beyond the initial instrument deployment....
