- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to conduct research on the compositional and structural evolution of Saturn's rings. The grant, valued at $359,145.00, aims to understand how Saturn's rings are affected by micrometeoroid bombardment and the resulting impact ejecta. The research will leverage publicly available data from the Cassini mission, including measurements from the...
- 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 is a $189,300.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the non-profit SETI Institute. The agreement supports the SETI Institute's research duties as a principal investigator in collaboration with the NASA Ames Research Center from April 15, 2017 to May 14, 2019. The work will focus on data analysis and radiative transfer modeling to improve understanding of the evolution of Saturn's rings due to micrometeoroid...
- 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...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, to study the composition and particle size distribution of Saturn's rings. The $331,576.48 grant will enable SwRI to analyze data from the Cassini mission to better understand the formation and evolution of Saturn's ring system, which has implications for modeling the history of our solar system and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $214,401.02, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is for a three-year research effort to support the Cassini spacecraft's "Grand Finale" orbits around Saturn, which will provide direct measurements of the dust component of Saturn's main rings. The research will focus...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC21K0537, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The $242,222.60 grant is for research to analyze the population of polygonal impact craters on Iapetus, one of Saturn's moons, in order to increase the number of fractures that can be studied. The SETI Institute has a broader Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with NASA Headquarters, valued at $4.7 million through...
- This federal contract award was issued by NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct scientific research related to the solar system's moons. The contract, valued at $374,852.00, supports investigations into the origin and evolution of orbital resonances between certain moons of Saturn and Uranus, as well as the potential for stabilizing the orbits of Uranus' inner moons. The work includes computational modeling, data analysis, and studies of topics such as...
- This federal contract award, valued at $534,130.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization, for a global geologic mapping project of Tethys, one of Saturn's moons. The award is a grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2026. The SETI Institute has previously held other federal contract and grant awards, primarily with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
- This contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization, is a $624,613 grant for research to investigate the origin and possible migration history of organic material found on the surfaces of Saturn's moons Iapetus, Phoebe, and Hyperion. The research will involve extracting and characterizing the hydrocarbon signature from spectral data, and comparing it to that of the nearby moon Rhea, to map the location of similar...
This federal contract award, valued at $262,416.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The contract supports research related to Saturn's rings, with the following key tasks: This contract is not associated with any set-aside designations. The SETI Institute is the prime contractor, and the work will be executed through image processing, analysis, and theoretical modeling to advance the understanding of planetary ring systems.
