- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a public university in Hawaii. The $502,189.00 grant funds research to characterize the effects of space weathering on rocky bodies in the solar system using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analysis. The research aims to improve understanding of how space weathering impacts remote compositional determinations of planetary surfaces. This work supports NASA's...
- This federal contract award is a $119,815.41 grant for research to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a public state university in Hawaii. The contract is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and supports three tasks related to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) extended mission goals in the lunar polar regions. The tasks involve using data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument and Kaguya Spectral Profiler to create maps of lunar mineralogy...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC18K0586, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa. The $763,000.00 grant supports research on the 53Mn-53Cr chronometer and its potential for dating aqueous alteration in chondritic meteorites. The project aims to develop new standards for measuring manganese-chromium ratios and improve the precision of 53Mn-53Cr measurements to reduce uncertainties in determining initial...
