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 characterize the surface properties of these icy satellites. The project involves combining Cassini spacecraft data with ground-based observations, modeling the coherent backscattering effect, and building a database of its characteristics to be submitted to the Planetary Data System. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation, and SSI frequently serves as a prime contractor and grant recipient for NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy for a variety of space science research and education activities.
