- This federal contract award to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract, valued at $669,045.48, supports research to analyze lunar igneous materials and investigate pre- and post-eruptive oxidative and reductive conditions in the lunar interior. This work aims to advance understanding of the Moon's geological history by comparing pristine lunar...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $589.4K grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct "A Fresh Examination of the Moon's Young Craters: Insights from New Datasets and Analysis Tools." This research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and represents a continuation of PSI's extensive portfolio of lunar science research. The...
- This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The $438,882.04 grant is for research to analyze data collected by the Chang'E 2 Microwave Radiometer, which obtained the first-ever global maps of the Moon across multiple frequency ranges. The research aims to characterize the thermal and dielectric properties of the lunar surface. This grant-funded...
- This federal contract award, with the ID NNX16AP75G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The contract, valued at $83,936.19, is for PSI to serve as the Moon Subject Matter Liaison for NASA's Earth to Sky (ETS) program. In this role, PSI will work with the ETS team to provide the ETS community with access to relevant NASA science, education, and outreach...
- This is a $590,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The primary objective of this work is to produce a 1:1,000,000 scale geologic map of a region on the Moon that includes the pyroclastic dark mantle deposits in Sinus Aestuum, Rima Bode, and Mare Vaporum. The grant has two main tasks: 1) mapping the extent and distribution of these pyroclastic deposits,...
- This is a $353,405.66 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for a three-year project led by senior scientists Dr. Scott C. Mest and Dr. R. Aileen Yingst to conduct geologic mapping and analysis of data from the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 lunar missions. Key tasks include digitizing pre-mission maps, creating updated USGS geologic maps, and presenting results at annual Planetary...
- This is a $374,002 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant will support research to re-visit the Moon using data from the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS). The research aims to better characterize the Moon's subsurface geochemistry and identify potentially useful minerals for in-situ resource utilization, to support future human and robotic...
