- This is a $389,698.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research into understanding the magnetic field of Jupiter's moon Europa and its subsurface ocean. The research aims to improve the interpretation of data from the Galileo spacecraft to better determine the properties of Europa's subsurface ocean, such as its thickness, depth, and salinity. The research will involve applying various plasma interaction models, including...
- This contract award is for a $135,000 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the formation and evolution of Europa's deep interior. Europa is one of Jupiter's moons and has been a focus of scientific research following NASA's Galileo mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, ASU has a long history of receiving federal research grants and contracts from...
- This is a federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The purpose of the grant is to develop a simplified melt probe and water sampling system for penetrating and exploring subsurface oceans on "ocean worlds" such as Europa. The total grant amount is $1,153,827.16, and the period of performance ends on August 25, 2020. The grant aims to retire technical risks associated with miniaturizing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant contract to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on Jupiter's magnetosphere. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to develop a better understanding of the global configuration, internal and external variations, and the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere through magnetohydrodynamic modeling. The research will leverage data from previous and ongoing...
- This federal contract is a $282,863 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project to better understand the nature and impact of potential water vapor plumes on the Jovian moon Europa through in-situ plasma and magnetic field observations from past and future...
- This federal contract award, valued at $575,037.88, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The award is for a research grant to study Europa's thermal-orbital evolution and its effects on the moon's surface geology, fracture formation, and potential liquid water transport. The research aims to better characterize Europa's interior structure, tidal...
- This federal contract award, valued at $36,796.71, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the College of the Holy Cross, a private liberal arts college located in Worcester, Massachusetts. The contract is for research to investigate the dynamics of near-surface melt features on Jupiter's moon Europa, which is thought to possess a subsurface ocean. The research aims to develop a numerical model to explore processes like tidal heating, melt generation, and melt...
- This federal contract is a $132,999.89 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The purpose of the contract is to support research aimed at assessing the habitability of Jupiter's moon Europa, a key goal of NASA's Planetary Science Division and the upcoming Europa mission. The research involves obtaining observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA),...
- This is a $252,636 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), operating through its Grants and Contracts Office, to conduct research on Europa's surface deformation patterns. The research aims to demonstrate that plate tectonics, rather than tidal forcing, better explain the observed features on Jupiter's moon Europa. Key objectives include identifying potential plate boundaries and subduction zones, quantifying the role...
- This federal contract award, valued at $100,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a research project titled "Modeling Possible Europan Oceans Using an Updated Electrical Conductivity Database Including New Lab Experiments." The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is structured as a grant for research and has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. As a...
This federal contract award is a $134,999.99 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The project aims to adapt existing space plasma models to study spatial asymmetry in the subsurface oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa. The research involves collaboration with a NASA staff scientist to incorporate thermodynamic models for icy moon interiors and develop a 3D multi-fluid model to investigate Europa's subsurface-magnetosphere coupling. This work has not been previously studied and could revolutionize the understanding of Europa. The models will be compared to data from the Galileo spacecraft and used to make projections for the upcoming Europa Clipper mission. The contract has no set-aside designation.
