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 Solar System Workings program goals related to understanding surface evolution and modification, as well as the effects of plasma interactions. The University of Hawaii at Manoa will collaborate with other NASA-funded projects to conduct STEM analysis on samples produced through laser and proton irradiation experiments. No set-aside designation was specified for this grant award.
