- This federal contract award to Georgia TECH Research Corp, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, provides funding for the development of a deep subsurface access vehicle system for exploring Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The proposed platform would enable access to a subsurface water volume within 5 kilometers of the surface, with the capability to reach depths up to 15 kilometers. The work will adapt existing Georgia Tech vehicle technologies, including the ICEFIN (an...
- This $785,689.28 federal grant award to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) supports the early development of the Small Bodies / Icy Moon Penetrator Organic Analyzer (SB/IM-POA), a highly compact and robust ultraviolet-visible/fluorescence instrument for measuring organic compounds on planetary bodies. The instrument is designed to meet stringent size, weight, power, and durability requirements for space missions, including tolerance to high G-loads. The grant will fund the...
- 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 to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, aims to elevate the technology readiness level of the Enceladus Organic Analyzer (EOA) for in-situ organic analysis of outer-planetary icy moons. The EOA utilizes a novel high-velocity capture plate coupled with capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) to quantitatively analyze organic compounds in the hydrothermal plumes of Enceladus. The contract, valued at...
- This is a $499,674 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, for research to model the emission morphology of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) generated by the interaction of the atmospheres around Jupiter's moons Callisto and Europa with energetic ions from Jupiter's magnetosphere. The research will use a combination of hybrid (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) simulations...
- This federal contract award, valued at $120,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp) to conduct research on the multiphase behavior of Europa's ice shell. The research aims to understand the evolution and potential habitability of Europa's subsurface ocean, which is of great scientific interest for the possibility of supporting extraterrestrial life. The contract,...
- This is a $294,660 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to study the interaction between Jupiter's moon Callisto and Jupiter's magnetosphere using a hybrid simulation code. The goal is to analyze the morphology of Callisto's plasma interaction and use the results to interpret data from the Galileo mission and support planning for the upcoming JUICE mission. This supports NASA's Solar System Workings program objectives to...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to mature a miniature broadband seismometer for deployment on Jupiter's moon Europa. The goal is to develop a seismic instrument capable of probing the properties of Europa's ice shell and interior structure, and recording current activity, in support of a potential future Europa lander mission. The $2,337,679.69 grant, titled "Studies of Landed Mission...
- This federal contract award to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, supports the RISE-UP (Ross Ice Shelf and Europa Underwater Probe) project. The $3,811,818 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to develop a small, autonomous underwater vehicle capable of exploring under the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica as an analog for potential future missions to Europa, Jupiter's icy moon. The project involves...
- 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 $107,052.73 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The award is for the design and implementation of low-power, compact, and highly sensitive analytical instrumentation techniques for organic and inorganic analysis of the subsurface ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. This work will build a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) system for amino acid analysis and a capillary electrophoresis-capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (CE-C4D) system for salt analysis. The instrumentation is intended to be compatible with a NASA PICASSO-funded "Icy Moon Penetrator Organic Analyzer" (IMPOA) instrument platform capable of withstanding high-impact forces during landing on Europa's surface. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
