- This federal contract award is for the Mars Daily Global Maps (MDGMS) project, which provides valuable data on time-variable phenomena on Mars such as dust storms, clouds, and polar caps. The $393,046.00 grant contract was awarded to the Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on May 7, 2020. The contract has a completion date of May 6, 2024 and is not designated as a...
- The NASA contract NNX15AN06G, awarded to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado, seeks to create an improved multiannual dust climatology dataset for Mars. The $165,906 grant project aims to retrieve and grid column dust optical depth data from the Mars Global Surveyor's Thermal Emission Spectrometer and Mars Orbiter Camera observations, and deliver three data products: individual dust optical depth retrievals, global-scale gridded dust maps,...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $411,741 grant by a civilian federal agency on May 21, 2024, to process nearly nine Mars years of global color imaging data collected by the Mars Color Imager (MARCI) instrument for the planetary science community. The grant, designated 23-PDART23-0010, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of SwRI's...
- This federal contract award is a three-year $1,048,354.00 cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The contract, titled "Understanding Mars Surface Processes", supports the SETI Institute's responsibilities as part of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), including leading the education and public outreach effort, as well as...
- This federal contract award is a $270,586.85 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant funds a mission concept targeting the study of Mars and its atmosphere, with a focus on monitoring the temporal evolution of dust and water ice aerosols, as well as changes in surface properties, from an areostationary orbit around Mars. The mission will utilize a low-cost 12U...
- This federal contract award, valued at $151,170.72, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Sponsored Projects as a research grant. The grant supports a project to study the spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the potential causes, of late fluvial erosion on the surface of Mars. The research aims to test the hypothesis that diachronous local-scale events, rather than global-scale climate variability, were...
- This is a $485,719 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research using high-resolution hyperspectral data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. The research aims to better understand the geochemical evolution of the Martian crust, including the distribution and implications of aqueously altered mineral deposits. Key objectives are to map the occurrence of carbonate, phyllosilicate, and hydrated...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AM44G, was granted by NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for $387,748.00 and supports research focused on the geology of the Alba Mons summit region on Mars. The objectives include analyzing volcanic, tectonic, and erosional features to better understand the geologic evolution and timing of heat sources in the Martian interior. The research will utilize data from...
- The U.S. government, through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), awarded a $930,266.00 grant contract to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to conduct research on the development of Martian dust storms. This research falls under the scope of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which focuses on planetary atmospheres. The contract has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025, and was awarded on September 1,...
- This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research organization. The goal of the grant is to develop a better understanding of how surface water sources and sinks at the Martian poles interact with the global climate system. The research will primarily utilize data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, including CRISM, MCS, and MARCI. The grant seeks to address key...
