- This is a $480,655.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The research aims to develop a comprehensive model of planetesimal bombardment during the Hadean Eon (approximately 3.9-4.5 billion years ago) and its environmental effects, with a focus on factors affecting life and habitability. The research will utilize numerical simulations and...
- This $214,391.56 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct a focused study on the biological effects of impact bombardments on a wide range of Earth-like extrasolar planets. The study aims to further constrain the conditions needed for life to arise and evolve, leveraging data and signatures of past bombardment events detected by the Spitzer Space...
- This is a $193,616.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is part of NASA's Exobiology Program and is focused on improving the understanding of large asteroid and comet impacts and their effects on the environment and climate, particularly in relation to mass extinction events like the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction. The key objectives...
- This is a $155,548 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Blue Marble Space, a non-profit organization doing business as Blue Marble Space Institute of Science. The grant supports research into the climate history of Mars, with the goal of better understanding the planet's past habitability. The research will use an ensemble modeling approach to examine the confluence of factors like stellar flux, volcanic outgassing, and atmospheric...
- The U.S. government awarded a $365,963 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 7, 2021, to investigate the effects of sub-catastrophic impacts on asteroid morphology. The project, scheduled for completion by October 6, 2026, will employ computational modeling combining impact simulations with gravitational reaccumulation analyses to examine how asteroids in the main belt respond to the wide range of impact events they experience. The work will be performed at SwRI's...
- This $294,821.48 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop and demonstrate an atmospheric transport modeling system to predict the mobilization and regional dispersion of potential contaminants at high-priority Mars exploration locations. The goal is to help identify optimal landing sites that minimize the risk of contaminating "special regions" on Mars that may harbor indigenous life. The project...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research institute, to investigate the effects of a cold early climate on the evolution of the Martian hydrosphere. The grant, valued at $361,691.37, will fund the development of a climate model, Mars topography model, a model of the thermal evolution of the Martian crust, and an advanced model of regional and global subpermafrost groundwater flow....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $246,386.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, to apply a global thermal cratering model to explore the effects of various impact bombardment scenarios on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. The research will involve modeling two types of post-accretionary bombardments and two types of Late Heavy Bombardment, using hydrocode simulations and a cratered terrain...
- This is a $452,580.81 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to conduct interdisciplinary research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, with a focus on investigating the physics and chemistry of solid and liquid material formation in the protoplanetary disk, and how those materials accreted into larger bodies. The research combines astrophysical-cosmochemical theory and modeling, petrological...
- This is a $1,005,452.96 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for the development of an instrument called CODEX (the Chemistry, Organics and Dating Experiment) to search for evidence of past life on Mars, reveal the history of habitability, and ascertain how the local geology evolved. These are also key scientific...
