This is a $137,865 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to advance the understanding of lunar pyroclastic deposits. The goal of this 3-year research program is to characterize the mineralogic components and eruption characteristics of these volcanic deposits on the Moon, which may provide insight into early lunar volcanism and potential resources for future lunar exploration. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a premier...
This is a $87,455.86 training grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The award supports research to better understand the formation and evolution of lunar impact basins, including the factors that influence basin size and the development of mascons (areas of excess mass at basin centers). Specifically, the research aims to model the complete evolution of lunar basins, from initial...
This federal contract award, valued at $872,707.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution. The contract requires Purdue to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. This includes participating as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
This is a $90,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University for research that contributes to understanding the origin, evolution, and geologic properties of massive impact basins on planetary bodies.
