- This is a $202,327 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study the evolution of the asteroid and Kuiper belts in our solar system. The research aims to understand how these belts were shaped by the collisional cascades that occurred during the formation of the planets, and how the dust generated by these collisions may have dissipated over time. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. MIT, a...
- This is a $424,939 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to conduct petrologic, isotopic, and geochronologic studies of minor clast populations in polymict ureilite meteorites. The overall objective is to use these unique samples to address major unresolved questions about the igneous evolution and formation environment of the ureilite parent body. The proposed work focuses on key...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- This $769,925 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supports a research project titled "Magnetic Investigation of an Asteroid from Submillimeter to Kilometer Scales." The grant does not have a set-aside designation and aims to conduct scientific research on the magnetic properties of asteroids across various size scales. As a world-class research university, MIT frequently partners with...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university. The $207,904 grant, titled "EARTH, MARS OR YORP SPINUP: ISOLATING THE MECHANISMS FOR ASTEROID SURFACE REFRESHING," is for scientific research related to asteroid surface dynamics. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Through past federal contracts and grants, MIT has conducted a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $135,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the early solar system and the formation of planets. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The research will study the 1-500 km sized bodies called planetesimals that served as the building blocks of planets in the early solar system. Samples of these...
- This is a $660,000 scientific research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program and supports research to understand the chemical, structural, and isotopic characteristics of organic materials in chondritic meteorites. The goal is to study how various parent body processes, such as aqueous alteration and thermal processing, have affected...
- This is a $171,350.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) for research on the differentiation and early thermal evolution of meteorite parent bodies. The research aims to model the thermal evolution and core formation of various types of meteorite parent bodies, using methods like finite difference modeling and Stokes flow. Key objectives include quantifying the fractions of metal and silicate melting,...
- This is a $38,496.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant aims to have MIT participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. It also requires...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
