This is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The $273,594 grant is for a two-year project to investigate the atmospheric chemistry and aerosol formation processes on exoplanets with deep, thick atmospheres. The research will use general circulation models and chemical transport models to understand how atmospheric composition and structure vary based on factors like temperature, wind patterns, and day/night cycles. The findings will help interpret transit, eclipse, and phase curve observations of exoplanets and place our solar system in the broader context of planetary diversity. This is a basic research grant without any set-aside designation, as SSI competes for NASA funding based on scientific and technical merit. SSI frequently serves as a prime contractor and collaborates with universities on various space science research and education projects supported by grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation.
