This is a $319,012.72 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2016. The objective of this grant is to develop a comprehensive model of Mercury's magnetospheric magnetic field to better understand the interactions between Mercury's interior, surface, and magnetosphere, which is relevant to the Solar System Roadmap's goal of determining how the solar system evolved to its current state. The grant supports three main...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, to conduct a targeted study of processes in Mercury's exosphere. The three-year, $331,585.66 grant has the objectives of: 1) using ultraviolet and visible spectrometer (UVVS) data and a Monte Carlo code to determine the overall "background" structure of the sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca)...
This $192,613.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the history and composition of explosive volcanic deposits on the planet Mercury. The research aims to determine when these deposits formed and analyze variations in the volatile gas fraction and magma composition across the deposits. It will leverage data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER)...
This is a $134,694.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit university, to conduct research related to understanding Mercury's internally generated magnetic field. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to address limitations in current understanding due to the impact of external signals in Mercury's active magnetic environment. This award is not associated with a larger...
This is a $487,285 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a research project titled "UNDERSTANDING SOURCE AND LOSS PROCESSES IN MERCURY'S EXOSPHERE USING MESSENGER OBSERVATIONS" with a period of performance through October 9, 2026. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. The award is part of NASA's broader efforts to study...
This is a $349,910.76 research grant awarded by NASA to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) exospheres of Mercury. The grant, which runs from May 2015 to November 2020, will analyze data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) instrument on the MESSENGER spacecraft to improve understanding of the processes behind Mercury's exosphere and space weathering. The research aims to reveal the temporal and spatial variability of...
This federal grant award to The Johns Hopkins University, valued at $448,962.63, supports the analysis of comet observations made by the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft. MESSENGER was a NASA Discovery Program mission that orbited Mercury from 2004-2015. During its orbital phase, MESSENGER had the unique opportunity to observe three comets - 2P/Encke, C/2012 S1 (ISON), and C/2013 V5 (Oukaimeden) - at very close heliocentric distances. This grant...
This federal contract award, valued at $207,287.04, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on characterizing the geochemical terranes of the planet Mercury. The research aims to provide insights into the processes that dominated Mercury's crustal evolution, including the formation of the primary crust, volcanic resurfacing, and impact modification. The contract leverages data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface,...
This federal contract award is a $119,958.55 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research institution, for a study to develop a concept for a landed mission to the planet Mercury. The study will examine key payload and spacecraft design trades to determine the feasibility of a Mercury lander mission as a potential future New Frontiers-class mission. The study aims to guide consideration of such a mission for...
This is a $369,967.61 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere in response to solar and terrestrial inputs. The objective is to identify and characterize the primary plasma motions responsible for the onset of explosive magnetotail activity during substorms and bursty bulk flows. The research will use data from NASA's Cluster, THEMIS,...
