- This contract award is for a $135,000 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the formation and evolution of Europa's deep interior. Europa is one of Jupiter's moons and has been a focus of scientific research following NASA's Galileo mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, ASU has a long history of receiving federal research grants and contracts from...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,706,884.65 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) for the Lander-Internal Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) experiment. This research grant supports the development of a 3-axis seismometer to measure seismic waves and determine the thickness and structure of Europa's ice shell. The instrument aims to help establish whether a subsurface ocean exists on...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate plate tectonics on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The $419,054.72 grant will fund research to characterize the morphology of potential subduction zones, conduct tectonic reconstructions, assess the rigidity of plate behavior, test the geodynamic viability of plate tectonics on Europa, and develop a new paradigm for Europa's ice shell deformation. This work is highly...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the internal activity and tectonic processes of several icy satellites in the solar system, including Enceladus and Europa. The primary objective is to use modeling software to investigate how processes within the ice shells of these moons are linked to their surface features. The research will be conducted under a $147,105.00 grant with a...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to mature a miniature broadband seismometer for deployment on Jupiter's moon Europa. The goal is to develop a seismic instrument capable of probing the properties of Europa's ice shell and interior structure, and recording current activity, in support of a potential future Europa lander mission. The $2,337,679.69 grant, titled "Studies of Landed Mission...
- This is a $252,636 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), operating through its Grants and Contracts Office, to conduct research on Europa's surface deformation patterns. The research aims to demonstrate that plate tectonics, rather than tidal forcing, better explain the observed features on Jupiter's moon Europa. Key objectives include identifying potential plate boundaries and subduction zones, quantifying the role...
- This is a $149,421 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) for the research project "A SALTY SOLUTION: UNDERSTANDING HYDROTHERMAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ON OCEAN WORLDS". The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026, will fund research to better understand the chemical processes that could lead to the formation of organic compounds in the subsurface oceans of planetary bodies like Saturn's moon...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $161,315.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the geological and geophysical processes that drive material transport between the subsurface oceans and surfaces of icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to understand the habitability of these oceans and the potential for detecting biosignatures on the surface, which is...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, in the amount of $432,130.05. The grant supports research to develop theoretical formalisms for understanding the role of tidal energy dissipation in the long-term evolution of subsurface oceans on icy satellites in the solar system. The research aims to account for the effects of a solid lid on ocean dynamics and the impact of inertial...
- This is a $389,698.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research into understanding the magnetic field of Jupiter's moon Europa and its subsurface ocean. The research aims to improve the interpretation of data from the Galileo spacecraft to better determine the properties of Europa's subsurface ocean, such as its thickness, depth, and salinity. The research will involve applying various plasma interaction models, including...
