This is a $358,889 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Houston System (UH) to study the dynamics of Saturn's relatively deep atmosphere using data from the Cassini/VIMS (Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) mission. The award has a period of performance through September 30, 2025. UH is a state-controlled institution of higher learning in Houston, Texas that provides research, education, and technology transfer services to various federal agencies. It has been involved in prior...
This $289,747.85 grant award to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston, supports research to analyze the radiant energy budgets of Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan using long-term observations from the Cassini spacecraft. The research aims to determine the temporal variations in radiant energy budgets and refine estimates of the internal heat of Jupiter and Saturn, as well as investigate whether there is a small energy imbalance on Titan. The grant is part of...
This is a $385,114 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, to conduct research on systematically exploring the global atmosphere of Jupiter using observations from two spacecraft and supporting observations from other missions. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025 and was made on October 1, 2021. The award is not a set-aside contract....
This federal contract award, valued at $377,109.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The objective of this grant is to improve access to data collected by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) for the planetary science community, including the next generation of scientists. The Cassini mission provided over 13 years of high-quality...
The University of Colorado was awarded a $237,928.61 grant from NASA to produce enhanced data products for the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) instrument. The goal is to make the UVIS data more user-friendly by pre-calculating geometric parameters, applying default calibrations, and providing analysis tools in Python and IDL. This will allow researchers beyond the UVIS team to more easily access and utilize the data for studies related to Saturn, its atmosphere, and its rings....
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher education. The $431,506 grant will fund research to investigate the strong zonal winds on the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) and their impact on the dynamical environment of planetary atmospheres. The award does not have a set-aside designation and the performance location is Houston,...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K1098, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a public university system serving as a Hispanic Serving Institution and comprehensive research university. The $520,826 grant is for a research project titled "CHARACTERIZING EXPECTED UNCERTAINTY IN SPACEBORNE HIGH-RESOLUTION TERRAIN MODELS FOR EXAMINING SURFACE PROCESSES", with a performance period ending on June 14, 2026....
This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $103,272 grant will fund research to measure and map the distribution of H3+ ions in Saturn's magnetosphere using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS). The goal is to determine if the presence of H3+ ions, which primarily originate in Saturn's...
This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research on the atmospheric structure and hydrocarbon chemistry in Jupiter's aurora. The $286,148.62 grant funds the exploitation and reanalysis of data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument to understand how the auroral activity on Jupiter affects the composition and vertical structure of...
This contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University will provide $488,710 to analyze and interpret Cassini magnetic field data in order to constrain the structure and dynamics of Saturn's interior through January 2027. Specifically, the contractor will seek to understand properties of the planetary giant's metallic hydrogen deep layers and core. No set aside designation applies. As NASA works to advance scientific...
