- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,706,884.65 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) for the Lander-Internal Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) experiment. This research grant supports the development of a 3-axis seismometer to measure seismic waves and determine the thickness and structure of Europa's ice shell. The instrument aims to help establish whether a subsurface ocean exists on...
- This contract award is for a $135,000 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the formation and evolution of Europa's deep interior. Europa is one of Jupiter's moons and has been a focus of scientific research following NASA's Galileo mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, ASU has a long history of receiving federal research grants and contracts from...
- This $88,161.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on tidal-tectonic processes on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The research aims to improve understanding of Europa's interior structure and rotational history by incorporating rheology-dependent tidal stress equations into existing models and testing the predictions against observed geologic features. The work will assess the role of non-synchronous...
- This is a $2,435,272.96 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to demonstrate the field sensitivity of a short-baseline seismic array for detecting seismicity, ice-water boundaries, and ice properties in terrestrial analogs for ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus. The grant supports field testing of a commercial off-the-shelf seismometer device to quantify mission requirements for future robotic exploration of ocean worlds,...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $160,933.98 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the viability of a seismic experiment on a potential Europa Lander mission, a future ocean worlds exploration effort. The grant, titled "THE SIIOS PSTAR," aims to develop operational techniques and quantify the science return of the proposed SIIOS experiment. This award does not have a set-aside...
- Arizona State University will mature a Pathfinder Seismometer (SUBLIME) for lunar and planetary missions under a $657,694 grant from NASA. The SUBLIME will be based on a Molecular Electronic Transducer technological design, intended to produce a rugged, cost-effective and simple to deploy seismometer to enable flexible incorporation on a broad range of future commercial lander missions and long-term monitoring stations. No set-aside designation was specified. The prime contractor is Arizona...
- This federal contract award to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, provides funding for the development of a deep subsurface access vehicle system for exploring Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The proposed platform would enable access to a subsurface water volume within 5 kilometers of the surface, with the capability to reach depths up to 15 kilometers. The work will adapt existing Georgia Tech vehicle technologies, including the ICEFIN (an...
- This federal contract award, valued at $651,311.68, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to support the exploration of the habitability of icy worlds such as Europa. The research aims to enhance the current understanding of the timescales and mechanisms of organic reactions in hydrothermal systems, which is crucial for interpreting data from analytical instruments like mass spectrometers that will be sent to study icy worlds. The project involves...
- This is a $389,698.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research into understanding the magnetic field of Jupiter's moon Europa and its subsurface ocean. The research aims to improve the interpretation of data from the Galileo spacecraft to better determine the properties of Europa's subsurface ocean, such as its thickness, depth, and salinity. The research will involve applying various plasma interaction models, including...
- This is a $107,052.73 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The award is for the design and implementation of low-power, compact, and highly sensitive analytical instrumentation techniques for organic and inorganic analysis of the subsurface ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. This work will build a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) system for amino acid...
