- This is a $345,307.07 grant awarded by NASA to Purdue University to conduct research on the effects of space weathering on sulfide minerals and solar flare tracks in returned samples from asteroid missions. The research aims to improve understanding of the evolution of planetary surfaces and regolith dynamics on small bodies. It is directly relevant to NASA's goals of ascertaining the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system and advancing the understanding of chemical and physical...
- This is a $98,446.55 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a not-for-profit educational institution. The grant is to study the effects of space weathering on the surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids, moons, and planetary surfaces. The research will examine how micrometeorite impacts and solar wind irradiation continuously modify these surfaces. The grant has an August 2023 completion date and was awarded in August 2020....
- This is a $685,198 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to conduct research on "Solving the Mystery of Space Weathering on Carbonaceous Asteroids Through the Analysis of Samples from Ryugu". The research project will run through April 16, 2027. Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is the prime contractor on this award with no set-aside designations mentioned. This award supports NASA's mission...
- Purdue University received a $458,327 civilian research grant from a federal agency's Shared Services Center, awarded on October 26, 2020, with completion targeted for October 25, 2024. The grant supports investigation into space weathering processes that alter the composition, microstructure, and optical properties of grains on airless celestial body surfaces. The research specifically focuses on examining the role of sulfides and iron-oxide minerals in the space weathering of asteroidal...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- Purdue University received a $200,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center mechanism, with performance to be completed by December 31, 2027. The research focuses on developing a comprehensive model for space weathering across the solar system, examining the two primary physical processes that drive this phenomenon: micrometeoroid impacts and irradiation by energetic ions from the solar wind. The award, which commenced on January 1, 2026, will be...
- This is a $133,245.21 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to Purdue University for research on the phenomenon of space weathering of carbon-rich asteroidal regolith through experimental simulations and analysis of returned samples. The research is being conducted by student Dara Laczniak. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. Purdue University is a prominent 1862 Land Grant College and not-for-profit educational institution that...
- This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,930.40 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to produce a space weathering map of asteroid Bennu using radiative transfer modeling. The goal is to identify the most pristine, unweathered regions on Bennu's surface to support NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which aims to obtain a sample of the asteroid's carbonaceous regolith. The work involves calibrating radiative transfer models to laboratory spectra of space-weathered...
