Project Grant 2308281
- This $403,358 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research to characterize the surface properties of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The research will use multi-wavelength observations from radio telescopes to create 3D maps of temperature and density across the moons' surfaces. This will provide insights into how internal and external factors influence the surface features observed on...

The award period runs from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028 and is being provided to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct this...
- This $100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 43.001) will support research to "UNRAVEL SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIATIONS OF ENERGETIC PARTICLE PRECIPITATION IN JOVIAN MAGNETOSPHERE WITH EARTHLY COMPARISONS". The award, made to The Regents of the University of Colorado (UEI: SPVKK1RC2MZ3), will fund a 3-year project from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027 to conduct...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a collaborative research effort to investigate the orbits of eccentric warm Jupiter exoplanets. The $300,202 award, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will be led by researchers from Indiana University and Northern Arizona University. The primary objectives of this research project are to (a) model the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) provides $171,674 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to execute a balanced science program. The grant aims to have UC Berkeley participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
- This Project Grant award of $114,468 was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 43.001) to the Trustees of Boston University. The funding supports research to expand understanding of Jupiter's upper atmosphere over a 3-year period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. As a leading research institution, Boston University has established expertise in space exploration and will leverage its...
- This federal Project Grant award, with ID 80NSSC24K0906, was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 43.001). The $243,778 award was granted to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to conduct research on the topographic and crater distribution changes on the surfaces of Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede, utilizing data from the JunoCam mission. The project will run from May 2024...
The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley received a $106,544 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to characterize the thermophysical surface properties of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The project will use multi-wavelength radio telescope observations to investigate how the unique internal characteristics of each moon, such as Ganymede's magnetic field or Io's high internal heating, affect their surface features. The research aims to develop 3D maps of temperature and density to aid in understanding the processes shaping the Galilean satellite surfaces. The award will also support the development of student training workshops on effective public science communication. No subawards are planned under this grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
