This $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University will utilize data from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft to investigate the correlation between geomorphologic and compositional signatures on Saturn's moon, Titan. The research will combine spatial information from the spacecraft's radar with spectral and temporal data from its Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to determine the degree of...
Cornell University was awarded a $316,176.22 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to improve the resolution of existing altimetry data from the Cassini mission and generate high-resolution topographic profiles of Titan's surface features. This work will employ delay/Doppler processing and bandwidth extrapolation techniques to reveal diagnostic topographic relationships that can address the formation and evolution of features like dunes, mountains, craters, and...
This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York. The contract, valued at $417,895.00, is a grant for research to support the analysis of data from the Cassini spacecraft's radar altimeter and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments to investigate the hydrocarbon-based hydrologic system on Titan, one of Saturn's moons. The research aims to determine the bathymetry...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to study the geological features and processes on the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. The goal is to understand how cryovolcanism, tectonism, seismicity, mass wasting, impacts, and thermophysical processes have shaped the small-scale surface features on Enceladus, using high-resolution imagery from the Cassini spacecraft. The work also aims to demonstrate the use of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $322,978.00 grant to Cornell University to conduct research on advanced backscatter modeling of Titan's surface using integrated synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and altimetry data. This research grant, contract number 80NSSC23K0216, has a performance period ending on December 31, 2025. No set-aside designation was indicated. Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York, is the prime recipient of...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York. The $359,258.47 grant is for research to model and constrain surface wind speeds on Saturn's moon Titan using data from the Cassini spacecraft. The research aims to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by directly addressing the understanding of Titan's climate. Specifically, the research...
This $150,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was awarded to Cornell University to conduct research on numerical modeling of wind-driven waves on Titan's hydrocarbon lakes and seas. The purpose is to elucidate the coastal geomorphology and the enigmatic "magic islands" observed on Titan. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York, has a history...
Cornell University has been awarded a $597,858 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to support exploring the surface of Titan with the Cassini spacecraft's bistatic radar experiments. As the prime contractor, Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs will leverage its expertise in planetary science and radar remote sensing to analyze data collected through 2026 from NASA's Cassini mission. Specifically, the University will investigate...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $563,329 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support research explaining Titan's topography through modeling the influence of crustal clathrates and organics. As the prime contractor, the University of Hawaii will deliver the contracted research services with no set-aside designation involved. The modeling work will provide NASA insights to support its Outer Planets Research program's goal of advancing understanding...
This is a $90,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to develop empirical relationships between synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and sediment properties in arid environments. The goal is to better understand the sedimentary features on Saturn's moon Titan, which could provide valuable context for the upcoming Dragonfly mission. The work involves field data collection and analysis in Death Valley National Park...
