- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1150, was granted by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $527,296.00 grant is for the development of a detailed geologic map and chronostratigraphy of Urvara Crater on the dwarf planet Ceres, based on high-resolution image data acquired at the end of the Dawn mission. This award does not utilize any set-aside designations. PSI has an extensive...
- This federal contract award was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The $599,794.00 award supports research to produce a revised global geologic map of the dwarf planet Ceres based on data collected during NASA's Dawn mission. The proposed work will utilize Dawn Framing Camera images, Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer data, and other mission data to conduct geologic mapping, determine...
- This federal contract award to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, was issued by the Shared Services Center of a civilian federal agency. The $375,335.00 grant contract is for research related to the Dawn spacecraft's findings that the dwarf planet Ceres has a global regolith (soil layer) containing abundant hydrogen in the form of water ice and aqueously altered minerals, as well as potentially organic matter. The contract supports further study and analysis of...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $117,286.00, is for theoretical modeling and research related to the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the geographic distribution and depth of water ice on Ceres' surface, as well as model its exosphere and its sources and sinks. This work is intended to aid in the...
- This is a $295,959.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a three-year research effort to search for evidence of shallow ice on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research tasks involve global mapping and characterization of surface features indicative of subsurface ice, such as sublimation terrains, polygonal patterned ground, and domed hills. The findings will be correlated...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $475,804 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to characterize the spectral light-scattering properties of three geologically young features on the dwarf planet Ceres - Occator Crater, Ahuna Mons, and Haulani Crater. The goal is to better understand the cryovolcanic, cryomagmatic, and diapiric processes on Ceres, based on data from the Dawn mission....
- This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $199,945.00 grant is for a research project titled "Efficacy of Thermally Driven Regolith Creep on Lunar, Martian, and Asteroid Surfaces" and does not utilize any set-aside designations. PSI, a prime contractor with experience in federal contract and grant awards, will perform the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a geologic mapping study of the dwarf planet Ceres. The study aims to characterize the distribution and timing of volatile- and ice-driven processes on the surface of Ceres, in order to address outstanding science questions about its internal evolution, impact record, and potential past (cryo)volcanic activity. The grant does...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1762, was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $221,802.02 contract, which is a grant for research, is highly relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings program as it will inform questions regarding the chemical evolution of planetary interiors (mantle) over time. The contract has no set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive capabilities in planetary science...
