- This $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University will utilize data from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft to investigate the correlation between geomorphologic and compositional signatures on Saturn's moon, Titan. The research will combine spatial information from the spacecraft's radar with spectral and temporal data from its Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to determine the degree of...
- This $342,213 federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will fund research to better understand the internal structure and differential rotation of the planet Saturn. The work will analyze data from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to identify and characterize density and bending waves within Saturn's rings. These waves are believed to be generated by persistent asymmetries in Saturn's gravitational...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, was awarded a $229,427 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2027. This grant supports a scientific research initiative focused on detecting geological changes on Enceladus, Saturn's small ice-covered moon, by comparing high-resolution imagery from the Voyager spacecraft missions (1980-1981) with data collected by NASA's...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,902.00 grant to Cornell University for the Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP). The grant supports research to analyze data from the Cassini mission to Saturn. Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York, is the prime recipient of this grant. No set-aside designations were indicated for this award. Through past federal contracts and grants, Cornell has provided a variety of research,...
- Cornell University was awarded a $316,176.22 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to improve the resolution of existing altimetry data from the Cassini mission and generate high-resolution topographic profiles of Titan's surface features. This work will employ delay/Doppler processing and bandwidth extrapolation techniques to reveal diagnostic topographic relationships that can address the formation and evolution of features like dunes, mountains, craters, and...
- This is a $89,586.82 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) training grant awarded to Cornell University to study the geomorphology of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The study will use topographic and imaging data from the Cassini spacecraft to map the three-dimensional forms of Titan's polar landscapes and understand the surface processes shaping its hydrological cycle. The goal is to generate a comprehensive geomorphologic map of Titan's polar regions and apply landscape evolution...
- Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $322,978 research grant to conduct advanced backscatter modeling of Titan's surface using integrated Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and altimetry data. The grant, issued on January 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, represents a civilian research initiative supporting planetary science investigations. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting Cornell's broad competitive...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the internal activity and tectonic processes of several icy satellites in the solar system, including Enceladus and Europa. The primary objective is to use modeling software to investigate how processes within the ice shells of these moons are linked to their surface features. The research will be conducted under a $147,105.00 grant with a...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University, a private research university located in Ithaca, New York. The $359,258.47 grant is for research to model and constrain surface wind speeds on Saturn's moon Titan using data from the Cassini spacecraft. The research aims to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by directly addressing the understanding of Titan's climate. Specifically, the research...
