NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington, selected the University of Colorado and the NorthWest Research Associates, Inc., both of Boulder, for grants to support Earth-Sun System science goals and remote sensing programs.
The maximum Colorado grant amount is $343,019 and for NorthWest, $999,996.
NASA solicited proposals for a new Ocean Vector Winds Science Team to support the analysis and interpretation of ocean vector winds and other applications derived from Earth-observing satellite missions carrying scatterometers and polarimetric radiometers.
The research also supports the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA’s long- term plan to return astronauts to the moon and extend exploration to Mars and beyond.
