This contract award of $349,056.63 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for the development of a "Coupled Tropospheric-Stratospheric Seasonal Photochemical Model for Saturn." The prime contractor is the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. SSI has extensive experience supporting NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE) in areas such as astrophysics, planetary...
This is a $236,995.00 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (an agency within NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant funds a research project to study the presence and role of non-ice materials in the Saturnian system, utilizing the unique characteristics of the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range. Key objectives include investigating the nature of dark, non-ice species on several of Saturn's moons and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, valued at $154,019.00, is for a project to study the coherent backscattering effect using near-infrared spectra of icy satellites orbiting the outer planets, specifically Saturn and Uranus. The goal is to explore how this effect manifests in the near-infrared spectra and how it can be used to better...
This is a research grant awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit applied research organization. The grant, valued at $120,580.83, will fund a study on the role of aerosols and cloud formation in Titan's atmosphere. The objectives are to: 1) measure the vapor pressure of benzene at Titan-relevant temperatures, 2) produce analogs of Titan's aerosols and study benzene condensation, 3) use experimental data to model cloud formation, and 4) compare results to...
This is a $209,559 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a study of the hydrological, carbon dioxide, and methane cycles of Earth and other planets in our solar system, including Titan. This research is intended to provide insights that will support the transition from discovery to characterization of exoplanets. The grant...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research on the compositional and structural evolution of Saturn's rings. The grant, valued at $359,145.00, aims to understand how Saturn's rings are affected by micrometeoroid bombardment and the resulting impact ejecta. The research will leverage publicly available data from the Cassini mission, including measurements from the...
The U.S. government agency NASA awarded a $430,510 grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct research on the composition and structure of Saturn's storm clouds using data from the Cassini mission. The research will focus on analyzing data from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) and Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) to constrain the composition of aerosols in stormy regions on Saturn, particularly related to a major seasonal storm that developed in 2010-2011....
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...
