This is a $464,000 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university, for the purpose of further developing techniques to measure and interpret cosmic-ray-produced (cosmogenic) nuclides in samples returned from asteroids, the Moon, and other planetary bodies. The work will leverage Purdue's gas-filled-magnet (GFM) capability to enable highly sensitive and precise measurements of nuclides like beryllium-10,...
This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted to Purdue University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the subseasonal to seasonal variability pattern in the midlatitudes. Purdue University, a 1862 Land Grant College and Educational Institution, is the prime contractor for this grant. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Purdue University has a history of providing research, prototypes, designs, testing services,...
This federal contract award, NNX16AJ25G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a prime contractor. The $655,528.98 award funds research to modify the operation of quadrupole mass filters and ion traps, enabling new scanning modes that will improve signal-to-noise ratios and facilitate the detection, identification, and structural analysis of trace organics on planetary bodies. The work aims to develop small, lightweight mass spectrometers...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC22K1252, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The contract, valued at $783,045.00, is a Grant for Research with the objective of investigating the "Role of Linked Hydrological, Permafrost, Ground Ice, and Land Cover Changes in Regional Carbon Balance across Boreal and Arctic Landscapes." This work is part...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC22K1615, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, for the "Numerical Modeling of Off-Axis GRB Jets" research project. The $63,506.00 grant-funded contract has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023 and does not utilize any set-aside program. As the prime contractor, Purdue University will provide research services...
This federal contract award is a $798,090 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The work will leverage data from three International Space Station sensor platforms (GEDI, DESIS, and ECOSTRESS), several space-based remote sensing platforms, and in-situ acoustic and survey data to support NASA's research objectives. The award does not have a...
