This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University, a public research university located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The contract aims to use Raman spectroscopy to better understand the quantity and composition of hydrocarbons, such as propane, ethylene, and acetylene, in the lakes and seas on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. The research will involve studying the phase transitions of...
This is a $89,586.82 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) training grant awarded to Cornell University to study the geomorphology of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The study will use topographic and imaging data from the Cassini spacecraft to map the three-dimensional forms of Titan's polar landscapes and understand the surface processes shaping its hydrological cycle. The goal is to generate a comprehensive geomorphologic map of Titan's polar regions and apply landscape evolution...
This is a $350,641 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution located in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports a research effort to study the middle and upper atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan using data from the Cassini mission's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), and Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) instruments. The goal...
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $312,650 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. As the prime contractor, the University will support NASA's research efforts by analyzing approximately 19,500 images of Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft's imaging science subsystem at a wavelength of 938 nanometers, which provides the best window for probing Titan's surface composition using this...
This federal contract award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to characterize the variability in thermophysical properties of Mars analog deposits on Earth. The $124,639.97 training grant will allow NAU to generate new tools for investigating alteration and reworking in mafic sedimentary deposits on Mars and Earth, improve understanding of these geologic features, and further knowledge of past surface conditions on Mars,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $132,508.25 Training Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a detailed mineralogical study of small irregular satellites and Trojan asteroids of the giant planets. The research aims to test the hypothesis that these objects originate from the same source, which could provide insights into the early dynamic evolution of the solar system. This award supports NASA's goals for...
This $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University will utilize data from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft to investigate the correlation between geomorphologic and compositional signatures on Saturn's moon, Titan. The research will combine spatial information from the spacecraft's radar with spectral and temporal data from its Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to determine the degree of...
This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $488,106 grant will fund research to improve understanding of the unique hydrocarbon-based hydrological system on Saturn's moon Titan. The research will analyze data and develop models to characterize this active system, which is the only one besides Earth's known to exist in the solar system. The...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $563,329 grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support research explaining Titan's topography through modeling the influence of crustal clathrates and organics. As the prime contractor, the University of Hawaii will deliver the contracted research services with no set-aside designation involved. The modeling work will provide NASA insights to support its Outer Planets Research program's goal of advancing understanding...
This is a $102,368.37 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (dba Arizona Board of Regents) for research on Titan's atmosphere and climate. The grant supports the analysis of existing spectral data from the Keck Observatory to measure the seasonal and latitudinal variations in Titan's tropospheric methane. The research aims to improve understanding of Titan's climate, including cloud, storm, and rain processes, and the transport...
