This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AP92G, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to extend previous work related to the LCROSS lunar impact. The $252,979.70 grant will fund two efforts: 1) analyzing additional ground-based imaging data of the LCROSS plume to study particle properties, and 2) expanding ballistic modeling to more accurately determine the mass of regolith in the plume, which has implications for volatile abundance at the lunar south pole. NMSU, a Hispanic-serving land-grant research university, frequently partners with NASA on planetary exploration, astrophysics, and STEM education projects. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. NMSU serves as the prime contractor, with no major subcontractors noted. The award supports NASA's broader program focused on understanding the characteristics and distribution of lunar volatiles, which is critical for future lunar exploration and resource utilization.
