- This is a $525,400.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports research to constrain the surface properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 using images from the Optical Navigation Camera (ONC) on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. The research aims to create a detailed shape model, photometric model, and color maps of the asteroid to support...
- 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 federal contract award to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, is for research related to the exploration of a volatile-rich asteroid. The $387,400 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center will allow the PI to participate in the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission, which is currently en route to the asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3. The PI has extensive experience in planetary remote sensing and laboratory analysis of extraterrestrial materials, which...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,591.00, 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 purpose of the contract is to process data from the Near-Infrared Spectrometer 3 (NIRS3) instrument on the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft to create mineral maps of Asteroid 1999 JU3. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive capabilities...
- This federal contract award, with identification number NNX16AK68G, was granted by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $209,122.13 grant funds a comprehensive program of telescopic observations and spacecraft data analysis to characterize the physical properties of the near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3, which is the target of the Hayabusa2 mission. The research aims to provide insights into...
- This is a $343,000.00 grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University to investigate the formation conditions of sulfide minerals in samples returned from asteroid Itokawa by the Japanese Hayabusa mission and in chondritic meteorites. The research aims to develop a database to interpret the conditions of formation for sulfides that may be found in samples returned by future asteroid sample return missions like Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx. The grant is part of NASA's Laboratory Analysis of...
- 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 federal contract award, valued at $383,430.00, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization. The contract, titled "SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES: COMETS AND PRIMITIVE ASTEROIDS LOOSE MASS MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF LARGE CM-DM SIZED DUST GRAINS. MOST MASS IN THE ZODIACAL CLOUD IS IN THE FORM OF TINY 0.1-MM SIZED GRAINS. WHAT PROCESSES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING ONE INTO THE OTHER?", aims to investigate the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to characterize the material properties of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and main belt asteroids and develop technology to scale up the measurement of pre-atmospheric orbits of meteorite falls. The goal is to compare the orbital elements of different meteorite types to dynamical models of the orbital evolution of small asteroids, in order to statistically...
- This is a $377,913 grant award from NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to investigate and characterize the occurrence of "doublet" materials found in light-toned outcrops and interior layered deposits on Mars. The goal is to determine the factors influencing the formation of this unique phase and understand its stratigraphy and geologic context relative to nearby minerals like phyllosilicates and sulfates. This research falls under NASA's broader...
