- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AQ67G, was issued by NASA to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, to examine the structure, composition, and history of Saturn's dusty rings. The $415,910.13 contract is for research to answer two key scientific questions: 1) what can the structures in the faint rings tell us about their environment, and 2) how do faint rings react to disturbances and sudden changes. This is a grant for research contract with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a grant worth $136,590.00 to the Regents of the University of Idaho (University of Idaho) to conduct research using Cassini/VIMS near-infrared spectral mapping observations of Jupiter and Saturn. The research aims to provide solar system analogs for extrasolar giant planets and cloudy brown dwarfs by analyzing the night sides of Jupiter and Saturn to generate disk-integrated light curves and attribute variations to...
- The Regents of the University of Idaho was awarded a $191,073.85 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the spectral and photometric properties of material emerging from Saturn's moon Enceladus using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument. The research objectives are to determine the plume particle size distribution, investigate the ice particles' structures, and develop spectrophotometric...
- This federal contract award under NASA Grant NNX15AM23G is for the University of Idaho to develop and deliver advanced data products from the Cassini mission's Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), and Radar instruments focused on Saturn's moon Titan. The $241,641.01 award is intended to provide these science-ready data products to the Planetary Data System (PDS) for use by new and casual Titan researchers. The award is not set aside. The University...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AI77G, was issued by NASA to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The $287,245.57 grant will fund research to study wave activity, surface texture, and roughness on Titan's lakes and seas using data from the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument. The goal is to understand momentum transfer at the sea/air interface to inform meteorological and climatological models of Titan. This...
- This federal contract award, valued at $337,474.84, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The contract is a grant for research to analyze observations from the Cassini/VIMS instrument of transient broad specular reflections in Titan's north polar lake district using radiative transfer modeling. The purpose is to map these "wet sidewalk" effects and test hypotheses...
- The University of Idaho received a $520,281 research grant awarded on January 1, 2022, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026, from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The award supports scientific research to constrain the physical and chemical properties of Titan's surface layer by analyzing surface reflectance phase function data obtained from the Cassini/VIMS (Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) instrument. Rather than relying on previous assumptions of...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AH45G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The $340,200.11 grant will fund a comprehensive analysis of occultation observations of Uranus' narrow rings, with the goal of obtaining new insights into the dynamics of the ring system and placing improved constraints on the internal structure of the planet. The research project...
- 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...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is for $546,019 to explore the color of the Enceladus plume. The prime contractor is the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, located in Moscow, Idaho. The contract type is a grant for research with an other pricing type and has a completion date of January 31, 2027. No set-aside designation was used. The potential value of $546,019 will...
This federal contract award, NNX17AF85G, was granted to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, to conduct research on using Saturn's rings to investigate oscillations and asymmetries in the planet's interior. The $314,789.06 grant is part of the Cassini Data Analysis Program managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The research will focus on analyzing occultation data from the Cassini spacecraft's instruments, including VIMS, UVIS, and RSS, to detect features in Saturn's rings that can provide insights into the planet's internal structure. This work is directly relevant to the Cassini mission goals of enhancing scientific understanding through data analysis and interpretation. The University of Idaho, a public research university, has a history of conducting federally funded research and providing technical services across various sectors.
