This federal contract award, NNX16AL41H, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Understanding Amorphous and Poorly Ordered Analogs of Martian Global Soil." The $79,863.96 award supports research to characterize the structures and compositions of the amorphous component in Martian global soil using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques. The goal is to yield a quantitative estimate of the amorphous constituents in the Martian soil, which will provide insights into weathering processes and the planet's geologic history. This research directly supports NASA's goal of understanding the evolution of the Martian surface and interior. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona will serve as the prime contractor on this training grant, leveraging its expertise in planetary science, materials science, and advanced analytical methods.
