- This federal contract award, NNX15AL98G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee. The $130,000.00 grant supports the university's research focused on quantifying the timing and nature of igneous processes that occurred during the formation of the Moon and Mars. Key areas of study include investigating the origin of enriched Martian meteorites (shergottites), analyzing the nature of volatiles in lunar minerals and rocks, and dating...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AI80G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Tennessee. The award, valued at $119,656.34, is for a research study using high-resolution topography and radar data to examine craters on the Moon. The research objectives include: (1) constraining crater degradation and topographic evolution, (2) using crater morphometry to explore crust and regolith characteristics, and (3) comparing radar properties and topography of...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1055, was granted to the University of Tennessee (Univ Tennessee System Office) for a three-year period to reprocess monostatic radar data of the Moon acquired by the Mini-RF instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The $395,065.00 grant is for scientific research, with no set-aside designation noted. The University of Tennessee, a major public land-grant research university system, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $345,355.88, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Tennessee. The award supports robust laboratory analyses of meteoritic and returned extraterrestrial materials, which are essential for understanding solar system processes and enabling successful human or robotic exploration missions. Key objectives include maximizing science return from limited sample sizes using non-destructive techniques, and investigating...
- This federal contract award, valued at $147,277.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee.
