- This is a $460,840.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the use of the cosmogenic radionuclide iodine-129 to study the history of extraterrestrial materials and cosmic rays. The goals of the research are to: (1) extend the radionuclide timescale to 10-30 million years to constrain the complex exposure histories of large stony meteorites, (2) establish the iodine-129/xenon-129...
- This is a $195,960.67 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to complete the identification of interstellar dust impacts in NASA's Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector. The work will use a combination of optical and SEM imaging, deep machine learning using convolutional neural networks, and candidate impact identification. This grant is not associated with any set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, a public research university, will serve as the prime...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- The U.S. government agency NASA awarded a $155,520.00 grant to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for a project titled "EXAMINING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE THROUGH OPEN SOURCE, CLOUD NATIVE TOOLS" (Award ID: 80NSSC23K0867). The grant, which has a performance period ending on May 31, 2026, does not utilize any set-aside designations. As the prime contractor, UC Berkeley will leverage its expertise in areas such as space exploration, quantum computing, and advanced...
- This is a $91,150.99 grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origins and evolution of differentiated asteroids. The primary objective is to improve understanding of the asteroids that produced mafic achondrites, a type of stony meteorite, through coordinated petrologic, geochemical, and isotopic analyses. The research aims to develop criteria for evaluating the number of asteroids contributing...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $381,000 grant award from a civilian federal agency on January 15, 2020, to conduct analysis of solar wind chlorine, cobalt, and iridium in Genesis sapphire samples. This research project is scheduled for completion by January 14, 2025, and will be performed at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility. The award was made through open competition with no set-aside designation, reflecting the agency's confidence in UC Berkeley's technical...
- This is a $149,994.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to research methods for dating hematite in ancient Martian fluviolacustrine sedimentary rocks. The grant aims to develop the capability to constrain the timing of hydrologic cycling on Mars. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. UC Berkeley, a leading research university, is the prime contractor on this...
- This is a $88,175 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to execute a balanced science program. The grant requires UC Berkeley to focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded...
- This is a $478,227 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) ages of meteorites. CRE ages provide insights into the transit time of small objects from their parent bodies to Earth, which helps validate meteorite delivery models. The grant has a performance period through May 2025. UC Berkeley, a public research university with expertise in space physics research, is the prime...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), was awarded a $1,184,995.25 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support continued analysis of samples returned by the Stardust and Genesis space missions. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund UC Berkeley's work on several key objectives outlined in the "Future of Stardust Science" and "Future of Genesis...
