- This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) is a $354,454 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the InSight mission to Mars. The research will use tidal observations to probe Mars's internal structure, complementing and expanding on the existing InSight mission objectives. The award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC is the prime contractor, and...
- This $305,484.00 grant contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency that is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) on August 1, 2021. The contract, which runs through July 31, 2025, supports research on the polarization of solar light scattered by lunar regolith, a key topic for understanding the Moon's surface characteristics. As a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution,...
- This federal contract award is a $134,332.57 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). The objective of the project is to develop a system of chemical and physical criteria that will allow NASA to evaluate the viability of planetary accretion models. The scope involves using the Hf-W isotopic system to determine which N-body simulations can reproduce measured values for planets, in order...
- The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) has been awarded a $38,336 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. This grant supports UCSC's execution of a balanced science program aligned with guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The work encompasses participation in the agency's exploration initiative, with emphasis...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $264,063.65 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on factors influencing crater size-frequency distributions and derived model ages of lunar and Martian surfaces. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to improve the understanding of the lunar crater chronology and address challenges with the application of this dating technique to other solar system bodies. As a...

- This federal contract award, valued at $42,968.13, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a research project titled "DAILY PRECISION SPECTRA OF MARKARIAN 421 FOR VARIABILITY AND MULTIWAVELENGTH STUDIES". The contract is a grant for research, with a period of performance ending on May 31, 2024. UCSC, a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, has a strong track record of federal...
- This is a $368,652.45 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) on September 1, 2017. The grant supports a scientific investigation to study the regolith, or loose surface material, on the planet Mercury using data from the MESSENGER mission. The research aims to answer key questions about the thickness, regional variations, and gardening processes of Mercury's regolith, and compare findings to the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This is a $228,380.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to characterize the "elephant hide" texture observed on the lunar surface. The research aims to quantify the distribution, morphology, and potential formation mechanisms of this ubiquitous but poorly understood lunar surface feature. The project involves four technical tasks: bulk image analysis, high-resolution digital terrain modeling,...
