- 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)...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $348,896.00 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the "Exploring the Earliest Stages of Explosive Volcanism on Mercury." This contract, with a period of performance through June 2, 2026, is not set aside for any specific business type. The Johns Hopkins University, a private, non-profit research university, will serve as the prime contractor on this grant. The university has a strong track...
- This $466,435.93 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the water ice and other volatile deposits in the polar regions of the planet Mercury. The work will utilize data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft mission to produce new digital elevation models and analyze the illumination and thermal conditions of these polar deposits. The proposed...
- This federal contract award, valued at $224,581.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to produce and deliver a suite of new and enhanced data sets from the MESSENGER mission to the Planetary Data System. The objectives include delivering five new MESSENGER Advanced Products (MEAPs): MEAP-1 and MEAP-2 will provide hyperspectral reflectance spectroscopic planetary map cubes for Mercury, MEAP-3 will characterize energetic...
- 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 $281,350.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private research university, to conduct research on the distribution, origin, and age of water ice deposits at Mercury's poles. The grant is part of NASA's overall effort to advance scientific understanding of the solar system. The research will leverage data from Earth-based radar and the MESSENGER spacecraft to address fundamental questions about Mercury's polar...
- This is a $435,469.13 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center on June 1, 2016 for the project "Characterizing Mercury's Energetic Electron Events: A Phenomenological Study of a Unique Magnetosphere." The grant supports a study of the transient bursts of energetic particles produced in Mercury's magnetosphere, using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The research focuses on four main aspects of...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $189,278 research grant by the federal government on September 3, 2024, for a project titled "Do Polygonal Impact Craters Form on Mercury's Lobate Scarps? Implications for Contractional Tectonism Throughout the Solar System." The grant, which carries a completion deadline of September 2, 2026, is classified as a non-set-aside research grant funded through a civilian federal agency. The project will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore,...
- This is a $487,285.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private, non-profit research university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The grant is for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING SOURCE AND LOSS PROCESSES IN MERCURY'S EXOSPHERE USING MESSENGER OBSERVATIONS". The award has an ultimate completion date of October 9, 2026 and was made on October 10, 2023. There is no set-aside designation, indicating the award was...
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, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft's gamma-ray, neutron, and X-ray spectrometers to identify and map the major geochemical regions on Mercury's surface. This work is expected to revolutionize the understanding of Mercury, particularly in the absence of physical samples from the planet. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is a grant for research with a completion date of December 1, 2020.
