This is a $699,981.10 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency of the U.S. government) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a three-year research project to measure the isotopic compositions of select light elements in solar wind samples returned by the Genesis Discovery Mission and from regolith particles of the Itokawa asteroid. The overarching goal is to derive accurate, mass-fractionation corrected, photospheric isotopic abundances of boron, carbon,...
This is a $1,204,952.37 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support NASA's Genesis mission. The grant provides funding for two main activities: (1) Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) analysis of Genesis samples, which is helping to evaluate elemental fractionations between the Sun and the solar wind, and (2) technical enabling work to support other Genesis principal investigators, including providing...
This federal contract award, valued at $1,877,456.63, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois, doing business as The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, to advance understanding of solar system formation. The project addresses two main goals of NASA's Laboratory Analysis of Returned Samples (LARS) program: developing instrumentation and methodology for analyzing samples from the Genesis mission, which collected solar...
This is a $477,090.33 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH), a public university system in Hawaii. The grant is for research to understand early and late-stage processes in the solar system, including the distribution of aluminum-26 and oxygen isotope reservoirs, the origins of ultra-refractory inclusions, and the formation of plastically deformed calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs). Additionally, the research aims to study...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC18K0586, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa. The $763,000.00 grant supports research on the 53Mn-53Cr chronometer and its potential for dating aqueous alteration in chondritic meteorites. The project aims to develop new standards for measuring manganese-chromium ratios and improve the precision of 53Mn-53Cr measurements to reduce uncertainties in determining initial...
This is a $696,032 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to further the Genesis measurement and science objectives. The work will directly meet Genesis goals by measuring solar wind samples, as well as enable work by other Principal Investigators in the community. ASU, a comprehensive public research university based in Tempe, Arizona, is the prime recipient of this grant. No set-aside designation was used for this award....
This federal contract award, NNX16AO78G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to develop a new spectral-based indicator of space weathering. The goal is to create a radiative transfer-based optical maturity index that overcomes the compositional biases observed in the current Optical Maturity (OMAT) parameter. The project will involve radiative transfer modeling of lunar soil samples to derive the quantitative abundance of key...
This is a $238,922 grant award to the University of Hawaii (UH) from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, for a research project to observe the 2024 total solar eclipse. The goal is to use NASA's WB-57F high-altitude research aircraft to acquire superior quality spectral data and imaging observations of the solar corona over the 270-1100 nanometer wavelength range. This will yield insights into coronal plasma composition, temperatures, and coronal mass ejections. The award...
This is a $212,081.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a research university in Hawaii. The grant is for designing and building two new triple-channel imaging spectrographs to study the coronal plasma, solar wind, and coronal mass ejections during the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. The data collected will help understand the sun's interactions with Earth and the solar system, addressing NASA's strategic...
This federal contract award, valued at $602,349.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The contract aims to improve understanding of the inter-relationships between amorphous silicates in comets, asteroids, and the interstellar medium. The research will involve detailed microscopic analysis and heating/annealing experiments on amorphous silicate samples from chondritic porous interplanetary dust particles, pristine...
