The contract, valued at $415,431.00, is a grant for research with a period of performance extending to May 6, 2026. The contract is focused on supporting NASA's Mars Exploration Program, specifically the search for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $170,691.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract supports research into long-lived lakes on ancient Mars, which are considered prime habitable environments and key targets for current and future space exploration. The award, contract number 80NSSC21K1799, is a grant for research with an ultimate completion...
- This is a $306,573 grant contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The contract is for research on the "Subsurface Migration of Water Vapor on Airless Bodies", which is likely related to NASA's planetary science and space exploration programs. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that PSI was selected based on its technical capabilities and prior...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AH46G, was granted to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization located in Tucson, Arizona. The $346,185.00 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings program. The purpose of the award is to characterize, through field, laboratory, and theoretical modeling, the sedimentology and hydrology of terrestrial stepped fans and their analogy to Martian alluvial fans. This...
- This federal contract award, valued at $363,197.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization located in Tucson, Arizona. The contract focuses on developing a model to understand the effect of thermal cycling on ice and rock in planetary environments, and how this relates to induced damage and changes in their bulk properties. The award is designated as a grant for research and does not have...
This federal contract award, valued at $367,102.66, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization. The award is for a research project that aims to quantitatively evaluate the mechanism of liquid water formation on present-day Mars through the melting of seasonal water frost in alcoves. The project will utilize high-resolution digital elevation models and 3D modeling to assess the full cycle of frost accumulation, warming, and melting in these local environments. The results will help determine if liquid water can form under current Martian conditions and if the recurring slope lineae are "special regions" or too salty to support life. This research falls under the Habitable Worlds program and will generate higher-order data products from NASA missions as well as develop software tools. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, and PSI has previously received multiple federal contract and grant awards to support NASA's planetary science and exploration programs.
