This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AQ64G, was issued by NASA to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The $401,303.13 grant is for a comparative geological study of Saturn's irregular satellites, using 3D mapping software and stereo-photo-clinometric modeling to investigate the surface features and internal structures of these irregularly shaped moons. The research aims to address five key science questions about the geologic processes, regolith, and surface evolution of Saturn's irregular satellites, as well as comparisons to other small bodies. This contract is not associated with a set-aside program, and the work is scheduled for completion by February 10, 2021. The Johns Hopkins University has a history of prime and subcontract awards from federal agencies like the NIH, CDC, DoD, and NSF for scientific research, public health initiatives, and STEM education programs.
