- This federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, is for an investigation of the water ice phase on the surfaces of three icy moons of Saturn - Mimas, Tethys, and Dione. The goal is to better understand the physical processes affecting the surfaces of these satellites, particularly the effects of high-energy electron bombardment on the ice phase. The $448,065 grant, awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center, will leverage data from the Cassini mission's Visual...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the amount of $338,141.28 was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The purpose of this grant is to investigate the link between tidal stresses on Saturn's moon Enceladus and the local and global eruption activity observed by the Cassini spacecraft. The work will involve modeling the tidal stresses in Enceladus' interior and...
