- The University of Alabama received a $240,553 research grant awarded June 1, 2019, with completion targeted for August 31, 2024, from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant supports high-precision chronological and cosmochemical studies of achondrite melt clasts to constrain the impact flux in the inner solar system. The research employs petrographic and isotopic characterization techniques to investigate the impact chronology of melt and lithic clasts within achondrite...
- This federal contract award is a $286,646.80 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on lunar impact melt samples. The goal is to use ultraviolet laser ablation microprobe (UVLAMP) technology to quantify the distribution of radiogenic argon-40 in ancient plagioclase crystals found in Apollo 15 and 16 lunar impact melt breccias. This will help constrain the ages and thermal histories of the impact melts. The...
- The University of Notre Dame's Office of Research has been awarded a $134,070 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the composition and formation of lunar materials. The goal of the project is to better understand the lunar magma ocean theory by analyzing samples from the Apollo moon missions. The research aims to examine individual mineral grains in lunar rock samples to explain the apparent overlap in radiometric age dates between the ferroan...
- 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 federal contract award is a $484,344 grant for research to the University of Rochester, a private research university in Rochester, New York. The grant is from a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, and is not associated with any set-aside designation. The grant is focused on reinvestigating the "Late Heavy Bombardment" (LHB) hypothesis, which proposes that the Moon was heavily bombarded around 4-3.8 billion years ago. The research aims to determine if the observed...
- This is a $919,861 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for the "SPECTROSCOPIES FOR ASSESSING REDOX CONDITIONS (SPARC)" project. The grant focuses on tracing the evolution of oxygen fugacity during three stages of glass formation on the lunar surface: volcanism, impact melting, and post-eruption re-crystallization. The research will use advanced spectroscopic techniques like X-ray absorption,...
- 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 is a $305,747.30 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to investigate the interaction of solar wind protons with the Moon using data from the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of the Moon's Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) mission. The primary goals are to characterize the properties of protons reflected from the lunar surface and magnetic fields, and to quantify the effects of this proton reflection on the lunar surface...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution, for a research project titled "MISSING ROCKS: REFRACTORY DEPLETION AS A SIGNPOST OF PLANET FORMATION AND PEBBLE DRIFT." The project, identified as 23-ASTRO23-0213, is focused on studying the depletion of refractory materials as an indicator of planet formation and pebble drift...
- This is a $40,275 grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for the research project "The Enigma of Evolved Lunar Granites: A Consortium Approach to Solving Their Petrogenesis." The project, awarded by a Civilian federal agency (the Shared Services Center), is for basic research on lunar geology and will run until February 2027. UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and state-controlled institution of higher learning, has a broad...
