- 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 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 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 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: Analyzing the evolving orbits of propeller moons around Saturn to better understand the interactions between disks and embedded masses. Detecting and investigating impact-generated ejecta clouds in Saturn's rings to probe the...
- This is a $399,729 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Wellesley College, a private women's liberal arts college, to support a multi-faceted investigation of the dynamics and structure of Saturn's rings. The grant combines all publicly available Cassini spacecraft observations from 2005 through June 2017, including data from the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), and Radio Science Subsystem (RSS)....
- 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 $342,213 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will fund research to better understand the internal structure and differential rotation of the planet Saturn. The work will analyze data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to identify and characterize density and bending waves within Saturn's rings. These waves are believed to be generated by persistent asymmetries in Saturn's gravitational...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to carry out data analysis and interpretation of observations from the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn. The research aims to investigate the source, loss, energization, and transport mechanisms of plasma and energetic electron populations in Saturn's magnetosphere, in order to better understand their origins and spatial distributions. The grant, valued at $208,896.20,...
- 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 is a $272,940 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to further the understanding of the link between auroral particle precipitation and the production of complex organic molecules, such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in Saturn's high-latitude stratosphere and thermosphere. The work will involve photochemical...
