- This is a $820,208.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for research on the upper atmosphere chemistry of Titan using ultraviolet spectral analysis. The award is for the Titan UVIS Airglow Observations UV Spectral Analysis project, with a performance period ending on March 28, 2027. The University of Colorado is a prominent public research university with...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $237,928.61 grant from NASA to produce enhanced data products for the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) instrument. The goal is to make the UVIS data more user-friendly by pre-calculating geometric parameters, applying default calibrations, and providing analysis tools in Python and IDL. This will allow researchers beyond the UVIS team to more easily access and utilize the data for studies related to Saturn, its atmosphere, and its rings....
- This is a $102,368.37 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (dba Arizona Board of Regents) for research on Titan's atmosphere and climate. The grant supports the analysis of existing spectral data from the Keck Observatory to measure the seasonal and latitudinal variations in Titan's tropospheric methane. The research aims to improve understanding of Titan's climate, including cloud, storm, and rain processes, and the transport...
- This federal contract award was granted by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university. The $350,641 grant is for research to probe the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) instruments. The research aims to determine the vertical...
- This is a $196,606.26 federal grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant was awarded on December 15, 2016 with a completion date of July 6, 2021. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a multi-wavelength investigation of the Saturn moons Dione and Helene using data from four Cassini instruments: the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), Imaging Science...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $324,586.00 grant is for a scientific investigation utilizing data from the Cassini mission to study interactions between Titan's upper atmosphere and its magnetospheric environment. The research will correlate observations from the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) and Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS)...
- This is a research grant awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit applied research organization. The grant, valued at $120,580.83, will fund a study on the role of aerosols and cloud formation in Titan's atmosphere. The objectives are to: 1) measure the vapor pressure of benzene at Titan-relevant temperatures, 2) produce analogs of Titan's aerosols and study benzene condensation, 3) use experimental data to model cloud formation, and 4) compare results to...
- The University of Virginia was awarded a $167,269 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct a comprehensive analysis of plasma distributions in Saturn's magnetosphere, specifically focusing on Titan's atmospheric interaction with the planet's magnetospheric plasma. The research leverages data collected by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) instrument during its nine years of orbital operations around Saturn. The project addresses a critical gap in scientific understanding by...
- The U.S. government agency NASA awarded a $430,510 grant to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct research on the composition and structure of Saturn's storm clouds using data from the Cassini mission. The research will focus on analyzing data from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) and Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) to constrain the composition of aerosols in stormy regions on Saturn, particularly related to a major seasonal storm that developed in 2010-2011....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $263,646.92 grant for research to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports UCLA's objectives to investigate the role of moist convection in the atmospheric circulation and global hydrologic cycle of Saturn's moon Titan. The research leverages two numerical models - the Titan Regional Atmospheric Modeling...
