- This federal contract award, NNX16AL41H, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Understanding Amorphous and Poorly Ordered Analogs of Martian Global Soil." The $79,863.96 award supports research to characterize the structures and compositions of the amorphous component in Martian global soil using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques. The goal is to yield a quantitative estimate of the amorphous constituents...
This $274,941.54 federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The contract is for research on the age, characteristics, and formation mechanism of young, high thermal inertia mantling units on Mars, which are interpreted as pyroclastic deposits surrounding the Cerberus Fossae fissures. The work will involve three interrelated tasks: investigation of the geology and crater retention age of the Cerberus mantling unit, remote sensing analysis of the unit's topography and thermophysical properties, and numerical modeling of the eruptive processes. This research is expected to shed light on very recent volcanic activity on Mars, including potential magma-ice interactions and implications for astrobiology. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, the University of Arizona conducts a variety of research, administrative, and technical services for federal agencies through both contracts and grants.
