- This is a $236,995.00 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (an agency within NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant funds a research project to study the presence and role of non-ice materials in the Saturnian system, utilizing the unique characteristics of the ultraviolet (UV) spectral range. Key objectives include investigating the nature of dark, non-ice species on several of Saturn's moons and...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, was awarded a $229,427 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2027. This grant supports a scientific research initiative focused on detecting geological changes on Enceladus, Saturn's small ice-covered moon, by comparing high-resolution imagery from the Voyager spacecraft missions (1980-1981) with data collected by NASA's...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $628,768 research grant by NASA (through its Shared Services Center) on January 1, 2023, to investigate irregular vertical structures discovered at the edges of Saturn's A and B rings. The award, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, supports research that enhances the scientific return of the Cassini mission by analyzing imaging observations and their...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $191,763 grant is for a study to analyze data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) to investigate heat transfer processes and water vapor flows associated with fractures in the ice shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The study aims to advance the understanding of the...
- This is a grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The $122,063 grant is for a research project titled "Analysis of Saturn's Rings Dark Material from VIMS Data." The goal is to analyze the spectral signature of the non-icy materials in Saturn's rings and perform a comparative analysis of these components as a function of distance from the planet. The research aims to contribute to the...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $192,094 research grant by a Civilian federal agency to conduct systematic characterization of jet and curtain eruptions on Enceladus. The grant, awarded on February 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of February 16, 2025, represents unrestricted competitive selection based on scientific merit, with no socioeconomic set-aside designation applied. The work will be...
- Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, received a $450,830 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded on January 10, 2022, with a completion date of January 9, 2027. This competitively awarded grant carries no set-aside designation and funds a research project investigating the effects of exogenic processes on the surfaces of Saturn's inner large icy satellites—specifically Mimas, Tethys, Enceladus, Dione, and Rhea. The...
- This is a $142,431.95 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is part of NASA's Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists Program (CDAPS) and is focused on improving the understanding of the geologic histories of three of Saturn's mid-sized moons: Mimas, Enceladus, and Iapetus. The grant will fund the expansion of impact crater...
- 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...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to study the geological features and processes on the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. The goal is to understand how cryovolcanism, tectonism, seismicity, mass wasting, impacts, and thermophysical processes have shaped the small-scale surface features on Enceladus, using high-resolution imagery from the Cassini spacecraft. The work also aims to demonstrate the use of...
