- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- This is a $136,568.04 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the current impact cratering rate on the Moon. The project aims to compare recent lunar surface images from various spacecraft, including Apollo metric photographs, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and the SELENE Terrain Camera, to identify and analyze newly formed impact craters in the 20-100 meter diameter range. This data will enable more robust estimates of the current...
- This is a $393,677 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to support research on lunar surface maturation processes. The research will examine the ejecta blankets of young lunar craters using data from various instruments on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, as well as legacy Clementine mission data, to better understand crater emplacement, maturity, and degradation. The goal is to provide a more complete understanding of...
- This is a $282,580.14 grant award from NASA to the University of New Mexico (UNM) for a research project to analyze lunar samples returned by the Soviet Union's Luna missions. The goal is to place these samples in the context of recent NASA orbital missions like GRAIL, LRO, and M3, which have provided new insights into the geology of the lunar Crisium basin region. The project will involve interpreting remote sensing data, modeling the Crisium impact event, and examining the Luna sample suite....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
- This is a $342,348.34 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Active Asteroids are Interesting Because They Represent a New Population of Objects Where Surface Activity is Derived from a Range of Exogenic Factors Such as Hypervelocity Impacts, Rotational Instability Driven by YORP Effect." The grant is a civilian award with a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2024....
- This is a $165,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research addressing two key issues in lunar science. The research objectives are to: 1) Produce improved maps of the lunar crustal magnetic field within 13 lunar impact basins and use this data to determine more reliable paleomagnetic pole positions to evaluate evidence of true polar wander, and 2) Conduct a...
- This is a $3,041,172.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to execute a balanced science program. The grant is not set aside and will support the university's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The university will advance discovery in emerging fields by...
- This federal contract award to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, is for $406,997 to provide ground data processing services for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, has extensive experience providing scientific research, data analysis, and technical support services to various...
- This is a $534,205.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct lunar mineral mapping research. The grant will utilize data from lunar remote sensing missions like Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Chandrayaan-1, and Kaguya to map the mineralogy and infer the vertical structure of the lunar crust. The research aims to address key questions about the composition and formation of the lunar...
