- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $356,505.00 grant to Brown University to conduct research on constraining the Li and B budget and d7Li and d11B ratios of the Moon's interior using lunar volcanic glasses, melt inclusions, olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts. This is a 5-year research grant that runs from January 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025. The award was made without a set-aside designation and represents basic scientific research funded by NASA to further...
- This is a $1,107,224.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University for the "The Reflectance Experiment Laboratory (RELAB): Enabling Spectroscopy of Planetary Materials and Surfaces in the Coming Decades" project. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The grant supports Brown University's work in developing advanced spectroscopy capabilities to study planetary materials and surfaces, which will...
- This is a $293,684.92 grant awarded by NASA to Brown University to conduct research on the abundance, role, and gas-melt partitioning behavior of volatile species in lunar magmas. The research aims to improve understanding of the evolution of the lunar surface and crust, which is a key objective of NASA's Solar System Workings (SSW) program for the Moon. The grant will fund three main tasks: (1) experiments to determine how other volatile species partition into early CO-rich vs. late H2O-rich...
- This is a $49,987 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Brown University to enhance the RELAB Spectral Database for planetary sciences. The grant supports research to update and expand this database, which is a critical resource for the modern era of planetary exploration and research. Brown University is a leading research institution with extensive capabilities across scientific and technical fields. The university frequently receives federal contracts and grants to conduct...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University, a private Ivy League research university located in Providence, Rhode Island. The grant, valued at $617,261.35, is for research to rigorously examine hypotheses for mineral assemblages and geologic evolution at the proposed landing sites for the Mars 2020 mission using advanced data analysis techniques. The research will compare and contrast four advanced mineral characterization algorithms...
- This is a $415,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct experimental and petrological investigations into the chemical differentiation processes that occurred on the Ureilite parent body, one of the most ancient achondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand the earliest planetary differentiation processes in the solar system by studying the metal-mineral melt processes (smelting)...
- This is a $85,786.09 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program and will fund a study using non-destructive electron and X-ray microbeam techniques to analyze lunar rock samples. The goal is to determine the valence and coordination of titanium, vanadium, and chromium in the lunar rocks, which will provide insights into the redox conditions of the lunar mantle and crust during...
- This federal contract award is a $132,511.64 research grant to Brown University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The award will fund experiments measuring the effect of low oxygen fugacity on the volatile content of nominally volatile-free minerals, including olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar. This research aims to better understand the volatile content of reduced planetary interiors, and will involve analyzing samples of enstatite chondrites,...
