- This is a $355,141.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to study the effect of terrain properties on determining crater-retention ages of lunar surfaces. The objectives are to ascertain the influence of regional and vertical variations in terrain mechanical properties on crater size-frequency distributions and crater-retention age computations, which are important for understanding the Moon's geologic history...
- This is a $136,568.04 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the current impact cratering rate on the Moon. The project aims to compare recent lunar surface images from various spacecraft, including Apollo metric photographs, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and the SELENE Terrain Camera, to identify and analyze newly formed impact craters in the 20-100 meter diameter range. This data will enable more robust estimates of the current...
- This is a $280,715.40 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a research project to analyze lunar boulder populations around craters of varying sizes and ages using high-resolution images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). The goal is to understand how the distribution of boulders on the lunar surface changes over time as craters...
- This contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency), provides a $259,701.63 grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop a new crater production function model for the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. The goal is to create an improved standard for dating planetary surfaces in the inner solar system, which is crucial for a variety of planetary science studies. SwRI, an independent nonprofit research organization, will analyze high-resolution orbital imagery to directly...
- The Planetary Science Institute, a Tucson, Arizona-based non-profit research organization, received a $589.4K grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct "A Fresh Examination of the Moon's Young Craters: Insights from New Datasets and Analysis Tools." This research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and represents a continuation of PSI's extensive portfolio of lunar science research. The...
- This is a $380,921 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for research related to the erasure of craters on multiple outer solar system satellites. The award has no set-aside designation and is intended to fund research into the various processes, such as cryovolcanism and tectonics, that contribute to the low crater density observed on many of these satellite surfaces. SwRI is an independent, nonprofit research and...
- This is a $142,431.95 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is part of NASA's Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists Program (CDAPS) and is focused on improving the understanding of the geologic histories of three of Saturn's mid-sized moons: Mimas, Enceladus, and Iapetus. The grant will fund the expansion of impact crater...
- This is a $590,115.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for a study to investigate the generation, redistribution, and mixing of regolith on the lunar surface. The research will develop a 3D model to track the age of impact melts and compare the results to lunar meteorite samples in order to assess scenarios of early lunar bombardment history. The...
- This is a $470,489.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, for a project to map and measure secondary craters around primary craters on Mars using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera (MRO CTX) as a base map. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026 and is not designated as a set-aside contract. SwRI is a highly capable federal...
- This is a $121,787 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the Moon. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of PSI's broader portfolio of federal contract and grant awards from agencies like NASA to support planetary science research and space exploration. The research funded under this grant will help interpret the...
