- This is a $814,996.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for atomic-scale analysis of samples returned from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hayabusa mission and analysis of analog samples for the future Hayabusa 2 and OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return missions. The research effort is focused on understanding the thermal and weathering history of the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to the Hayabusa asteroid sample return mission. The goal is to study the surface history and characterization of the asteroid 25143 Itokawa by analyzing the returned samples. The research involves measuring cosmogenic radionuclides (such as 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 53Mn) in microgram-sized samples using advanced techniques like...
- Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), was awarded a $365,954 grant by a civilian federal agency on March 7, 2023, for research titled "Nanoscale Analysis of Processing Signatures in Returned Asteroid, Comet and Interstellar Samples." The work will be performed in Tempe, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of December 29, 2026. This grant represents a child award under ASU's parent entity and was...
- This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,650.73 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research under the "Mineralogical Mapping of Asteroid Itokawa Using Hayabusa AMICA Camera Multi-Spectral and NIRS Spectr" program. The 4-year grant will support the calibration and restoration of multi-color data from the Hayabusa spacecraft's Asteroid Multiband Imaging Camera (AMICA) to create global 7-color...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
- This is a $382,737.21 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the formation conditions of volatile-bearing and water-deposited minerals on the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to constrain the chemistry, mineralogy, and physical processes involved in water-rock interaction in carbon dioxide- and ammonia-rich systems on Ceres, as well as model post-impact aqueous processes that may have formed the...
- This is a $472,997.60 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to investigate shock effects, conditions, and ages in the earliest impacts recorded in ordinary chondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand impact processes in the first 400 million years of the solar system's history. The research will utilize advanced mineralogical and microstructural analysis techniques, including polarized-light microscopy, Raman...
- Arizona State University (ASU) was awarded a $745,627 research grant by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of January 16, 2027. The grant, which commenced on January 17, 2022, supports scientific research aimed at understanding the physical properties of primitive, hydrous, C-group near-Earth objects (NEOs) through mechanical upscaling measurements of clay-rich carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. This work contributes to planetary science and asteroid characterization...
- This is a $101,984.72 grant awarded to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the formation and processing histories of presolar and early solar system nanomaterials. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2023. ASU is the prime contractor, and there are no set-aside designations associated with this award. This grant supports NASA's research objectives in planetary science and the exploration of the early solar...
