USRA will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This federal contract award is a $226,598.80 cooperative agreement issued by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The purpose of the award is to develop prototype hardware and software infrastructure to improve water management in the San Joaquin River watershed in California, with the goal of creating a system that integrates NASA's information products and models. The work is being conducted as a...
- This federal contract award with ID NNX15AH24G was granted by NASA to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to conduct a 3-year comparative analysis of topographic variations in lunar and Martian impact craters. The $365,999 grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program and aims to better understand the processes and material properties that influence crater shape and morphology. The research will leverage data from NASA's Lunar...
- This is a $57,845.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a multi-faceted assessment of urban land change in the Mediterranean region to evaluate interconnected climate risks, which are expected to increase 25% faster than the global average in this area. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 12, 2024 and was awarded on January 19, 2022. No...
This federal contract award, valued at $140,774.84, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The contract supports an "Integrated Atmospheric and Subsurface Investigation of the Evolution of the Early Martian Hydrosphere" research project. The objective is to use climate models, topography data, and hydrology simulations to study the potential for habitable liquid water environments on early Mars under cold climate conditions. The research will investigate the effects of factors like water inventory, atmospheric pressure, and crustal properties on the existence and survival of groundwater, ice-covered lakes, and seas. This grant-funded research project is relevant to NASA's Habitable Worlds program and does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor for NASA, USRA leverages its expertise in scientific research and program management to advance the agency's space science and exploration priorities.
