- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AP92G, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to extend previous work related to the LCROSS lunar impact. The $252,979.70 grant will fund two efforts: 1) analyzing additional ground-based imaging data of the LCROSS plume to study particle properties, and 2) expanding ballistic modeling to more accurately determine the mass of regolith in the plume, which has implications for...
- This is a $439,666.85 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a research project titled "The Role of Dust in the Life Cycle of Snow: Coupling Remote Sensing with Models to Link Dust, Snow, Land-Use, Climate Change, and Water Resources." The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2024, is focused on studying the impact of dust on the life cycle of snow and its implications for water...
- This federal contract, awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to New Mexico State University (NMSU), aims to use a general circulation model (GCM) to assess the potential long-term greenhouse warming effect resulting from the injection of water into the early Martian atmosphere following impacts by comets and asteroids. The $165,000 contract will allow NMSU to characterize atmospheric changes induced by small and large impactors, ranging from 50 meters to 100 kilometers in diameter, and...
- This is a $167,829.91 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to New Mexico State University (NMSU) on September 1, 2017, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The contract is focused on analyzing spacecraft observations of ice formations across the solar system in order to understand the physical processes that shape the surfaces of icy bodies. NMSU will collaborate with a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $5,062,000.00, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue operating the Planetary Data System (PDS) Atmospheres Node. The PDS is NASA's organized, documented, and transparent archive of planetary mission data for the science community and general public worldwide. Under this cooperative agreement, NMSU will curate historical, current, and future planetary atmospheric science data...
- This federal contract award is a grant valued at $83,614 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for research on the different evolutionary pathways of the atmospheres of Venus, Earth, and Mars. The grant, with a completion date of June 15, 2025, is not associated with a set-aside designation. NMSU, a public, Hispanic-serving, land-grant research university, is the prime grantee and will be conducting this planetary science...
- This federal contract award is a $221,132 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a research project titled "FROM SUNBEAMS TO CAREER DREAMS: ILLUMINATING PATHWAYS FOR NMSU STUDENTS IN SOLAR-TERRESTRIAL PHYSICS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NASA GSFC". The award, which has an ultimate completion date of August 22, 2026, is not designated as a set-aside contract. NMSU, a public, Hispanic-serving,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $485,925.00, was granted to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the geomorphology, sedimentology, and mineralogy of temperate glacial landforms, specifically eskers sourced from mafic bedrock on Mars. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research with a performance period ending on August 13, 2025. As a public research university that serves as...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project to develop a framework for analyzing debris-covered glaciers on Mars. The $770,270.35 grant will fund the development of a numerical model to study the formation and evolution of these glacial features, which could provide insights into Mars' past climate. The research will involve field studies of analog...
- This federal contract award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to characterize the variability in thermophysical properties of Mars analog deposits on Earth. The $124,639.97 training grant will allow NAU to generate new tools for investigating alteration and reworking in mafic sedimentary deposits on Mars and Earth, improve understanding of these geologic features, and further knowledge of past surface conditions on Mars,...
This federal contract award, valued at $118,999.98, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the formation processes of the Martian Polar Layered Terrains (PLTs). The goal is to quantify the yearly accumulation rates of water ice and dust on Mars under current and past climatic conditions, in order to decipher the record of recent Martian climate history contained in the PLTs. This contract is not set aside for any specific program. NMSU, as the prime contractor, will utilize 3D Mars atmosphere modeling to simulate atmospheric dynamics, aerosol sedimentation, and surface accumulation. This work supports NASA's broader program focused on the formation of the Martian PLTs.
