The contract, titled "The Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB): Enabling Spectroscopy of Planetary Materials and Surfaces in the Coming Decades," supports research and technical services related to the spectroscopy of planetary materials and surfaces. The contract is not set aside and has a...
This is a $475,387.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University, a private Ivy League research university. The grant is part of NASA's Rhode Island Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCOR) Research Infrastructure Development (RID) program for fiscal year 2015. The grant has two main components: 1) Funding research at the University of Rhode Island on "Remote Sensing of Sub-Surface Structure of Extraterrestrial...
This is a $328,106 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University to conduct research on the distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in mafic and ultramafic rocks from the Moon, Mars, and HED meteorites. The primary goals are to use REE partition coefficients to infer magmatic and subsolidus processes, and to develop new REE-based thermometers for planetary materials. The research will involve laboratory crystal growth experiments, developing...
This $100,000.00 grant award to Brown University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research on the microstructures, visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectra, and attenuation of laboratory-derived ice Ih and ice/salt-hydrate eutectic aggregates. These materials are relevant to the study of Jupiter's moon Europa and other icy moons. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and has a period of performance ending on September 16, 2026. As a leading...
This federal grant awarded to Brown University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides $170,639.00 to study the effects of physical properties, space weathering, and viewing geometry on the visible and infrared reflectance spectra of carbonaceous chondrites (CCs). The goal is to identify the heliocentric distance and size distributions of CC parent bodies, which will contribute to understanding the primordial distribution and later movement of raw materials in the...
This is a $366,596 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University, a private Ivy League research institution, to conduct research on "QUANTITATIVELY ASSESSING THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF COMETARY SMOOTH TERRAINS." The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for research work with a period of performance ending on October 9, 2026. Brown University has extensive experience providing specialized...

The grant is for research work to be performed from November 1, 2023 through March 21, 2025. Brown University is a private Ivy League research university that has extensive experience in conducting federally funded research across disciplines like biomedical sciences, engineering, computer science, and earth sciences. The university holds...

This federal award to Brown University is a grant for $979,636.15 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to enhance the Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB) spectral database. RELAB has amassed a significant library of visible-near infrared-infrared (VIS-NIR-IR) reflectance spectra over the past 30 years, which is highly relevant to past, recent, and upcoming planetary science missions.

The project aims to restructure the existing spectral database, format the data to comply with Planetary Data System (PDS) standards, and create a user-friendly online tool for searching the database, examining spectral plots, and downloading data. This will significantly increase the accessibility, usability, and visibility of the RELAB spectral library for the scientific community. The work is funded through the NASA Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program and complements the ongoing operations of the RELAB facility and PDS Geosciences Node.
