GEOPHYSICAL EXPLORATION OF THE DYNAMICS AND EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM (GEODES)

THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO ANALYZE THE PARTICLE DATA FROM HERMES AND THE COMPLEMENTARY THEMIS/ARTEMIS AND LRO SATELLITES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS ENCOUNTERED AS THE MOON ORBITS EARTH AND TO CHARACTERIZE HOW THE CHARGED PARTICLES AND RADIATION AFFECTS SPACE SYSTEMS. THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO A SPACE WEATHER AWARENESS TOOL THAT WILL SPECIFY AND PREDICT THE ENVIRONMENT, ITS IMPACTS, AND THE HAZARD LEVEL TO SPACE SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT CURRENT AND FUTURE LUNAR MISSIONS. THE PROJECT FITS WITHIN SECTION C OF THE HERMES SCIENCE GOALS TO "ESTABLISH OBSERVATIONAL CAPABILITIES OF AN ON-BOARD PATHFINDER PAYLOAD MEASURING LOCAL SPACE WEATHER TO SUPPORT DEEP-SPACE AND LONG-TERM HUMAN EXPLORATION."

DR. BRETT DENEVI WILL BE A MEMBER OF THE LUNAR-VISE SCIENCE TEAM, CONTRIBUTING PRIMARILY TO UNDERSTANDING THE COMPOSITION AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF REGOLITH AT THE LANDING SITE. IN THE PRE- FLIGHT PHASE, DENEVI WILL AID IN SETTING MEASUREMENT AND INSTRUMENT PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MULTI-SPECTRAL UV/VNIR CAMERA TO ENSURE THAT THE OBSERVATIONS ADDRESS THE SCIENCE OBJECTIVES OF THE LUNAR-VISE INVESTIGATION. DURING FLIGHT AND AFTER OPERATIONS CEASE, SHE WILL AID IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE UV/VNIR DATA, INCLUDING VIA HAPKE MODELING, AND WILL PLACE THOSE INTERPRETATIONS INTO THE BROADER CONTEXT OF LUNAR GEOLOGY AND EVOLUTION. THESE RESULTS WILL BE DETAILED IN A MANUSCRIPT SUBMITTED TO A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL FOR PEER-REVIEW AND PUBLICATION. DENEVI WILL PARTICIPATE IN SCIENCE TEAM TELECONS AND MEETINGS, AND WILL BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT DURING SURFACE OPERATIONS. FINAL INVENTORY REPORT OF FEDERALLY-OWNED PROPERTY DUE ON 11/29/2026 (90 DAYS AFTER PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE END DATE) VIA EMAIL. SUBRECIPIENT SHALL PROVIDE MONTHLY FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REPORTS (INVOICES) DUE ON 15TH OF EACH MONTH.

DR. NOVAK WILL " INPUT FOR MONTHLY QUAD-CHART REPORTS FOR NASA SCIENCE ACTIVATION " ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORTS " PARTICIPATE IN TEAM MEETINGS AT LPI IN 2021, 2023, AND 2025 (ANTICIPATE 2.5 DAYS PLUS TRAVEL TIME) " PARTICIPATES IN ONLINE TEAM MEETINGS AS NEEDED

STATEMENT OF WORK NNH18ZDA018C: SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION RESEARCH VIRTUAL INSTITUTE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NOTICE (SSERVI CAN-3) INTERDISCIPLINARY CONSORTIUM FOR EVALUATING VOLATILE ORIGINS (ICE FIVE-O) THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A COLLABORATIVE INVESTIGATION OF THE CHEMICAL, MINERALOGICAL AND ISOTOPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS VOLATILE SPECIES THAT MAY BE SEQUESTERED AT THE POLES OF THE MOON, WITH A VIEW TO PAVING THE WAY FOR UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF COLD-TRAPPED LUNAR VOLATILES AND MAXIMIZING THE SCIENTIFIC RETURN OF FUTURE LUNAR POLAR SAMPLE RETURN MISSIONS. CO-INVESTIGATOR PARVATHY PREM HAS EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN MODELING VOLATILE TRANSPORT IN THE LUNAR EXOSPHERE. HER PRIMARY ROLE IN THE ICE FIVE-O TEAM WILL BE TO MODEL THE EXOSPHERIC TRANSPORT OF DIFFERENT ISOTOPOLOGUES OF WATER AND CARBON DIOXIDE ON THE MOON, IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HOW DIFFERENCES IN THE WAY THESE MOLECULES INTERACT WITH THE LUNAR SURFACE AFFECT THE COMPOSITION OF COLD-TRAPPED DEPOSITS. THIS MODELING WORK WILL BE DONE IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ICE FIVE-O TEAM MEMBERS, WHO WILL BE CARRYING OUT EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE BEHAVIOR OF VOLATILES IN THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT. THE PROPOSAL PLANS FOR TWO VISITS BY CO-I PREM TO CO-I DOMINGUEZ"S LAB AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS, IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE INTEGRATION OF EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS WITH MODELING WORK. DR. PREM WILL ALSO PARTICIPATE IN TEAM MEETINGS, PRESENT MODELING RESULTS AT SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCES, ASSIST IN THE PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS FOR PUBLICATION, AND PREPARE MODEL OUTPUT/NUMERICAL CODES FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH NASA PLANETARY SCIENCE DIVISION DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN GUIDELINES.

DR. JULIANA VIEVERING WILL SERVE AS PROJECT SCIEN7ST FOR THE FOXSI-5 MISSION. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE INVES7GA7ON, SHE WILL COORDINATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FLARE ALERT SYSTEM OP7MIZED FOR THE FOXSI-5 SOUNDING ROCKET FLARE CAMPAIGN. THE ALERT SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED TO PROCESS REAL7ME SOLAR IRRADIANCE AND IMAGING DATA AND PROVIDE INDICA7ON OF WHEN A FLARE IS STAR7NG AND A MEASURE OF THE CONFIDENCE THAT A LARGE FLARE WILL BE OBSERVED DURING THE FOXSI-5 OBSERVA7ON WINDOW (IF A LAUNCH WERE TO BE INI7ATED). THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS OP7MIZED SYSTEM AND PROCESSES FOR THE FLARE CAMPAIGN IS OF GREAT SCIEN7FIC IMPORTANCE AS IT WILL INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF OBSERVING A LARGE SOLAR FLARE WITH FOXSI-5. SHE WILL ALSO ASSIST IN ARRANGING FOR COORDINATED OBSERVA7ONS WITH OTHER OBSERVATORIES. DR. VIEVERING WILL PAR7CIPATE IN FOUR THREEDAY CAMPAIGNS AT THE WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE TO COORDINATE FLARE MONITORING EFFORTS ON SITE. DR. VIEVERING WILL ADDI7ONALLY CONTRIBUTE TO PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF DATA OBTAINED DURING THE FLARE CAMPAIGN IN THE SECOND YEAR OF THE INVES7GA7ON. SHE WILL PRESENT RESULTS FROM THE FLARE CAMPAIGN AT A SCIEN7FIC CONFERENCE.

DR. RACHEL KLIMA WILL CONTRIBUTE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS FOR THE SSERVI PROPOSAL ENTITLED "CHARACTERIZING VARIATIONS IN THE SPECTROSCOPIC FEATURES DUE TO H20 AND/OR 0H ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON." DR. KLIMA, WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE MOON MINERALOGY MAPPER TEAM AND HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN LUNAR DATA ANALYSIS, WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT INSIGHT INTO THE CALIBRATION OF THE MOON MINERALOGY MAPPER DATA AND SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF THE SPECTRAL ABSORPTIONS OF HYDROXYL AND/OR WATER. SHE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ABSTRACTS AND PUBLISHED PAPERS PREPARED BY THE PI. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT THE ANALYSIS BY CO-I KLIMA WILL BE PERFORMED ON COMPUTERS CURRENTLY RESIDING AT JOHNS HOPKINS APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY. THE COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE PACKAGES IDL AND ENVI ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE TO BE USED IN SOME STAGES OF THE PROCESSING AS NECESSARY

DR. KAREN R. STOCKSTILL-CAHILL WILL UTILIZE METEORITE SPECTRA FROM THIS STUDY TO REFINE RADIATIVE TRANSFER MODEL OF HAPKE USED TO PREDICT THE BIDIRECTIONAL REFLECTANCE SPECTRA OF AIRLESS PLANETARY BODIES. IN ADDITION, SHE WILL USE THE SPECTRAL MODEL WITH EXISTING SMALL BODY SPECTRA TO GUIDE METEORITE STUDIES. FINALLY, SHE WILL ASSIST WITH PREPARATION OF THE SMALL BODIES/METEORITE DATABASE AND PDS SUBMISSION.

SUMMARY: SUBRECIPIENT (JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY) WILL PROVIDE SERVICES USING DR. CHARLES A HIBBITTS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS. HE WILL USE THE LABORATORY AND COMPUTER FACILITIES LOCATED AT THE APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY. IN ADDITION, HE WILL USE HIS EXPERTISE IN THE FIELDS OF PLANETARY SCIENCE AND LABORATORY SPECTROSCOPY. DR. HIBBITTS WILL WORK WITHOUT SUPERVISION THROUGH EMAIL INSTRUCTIONS FROM DR. ORLANDO FOR THE DURATION OF THE AWARD. SERVICES TO PROVIDE: 1. WE WILL SUPPORT EXPERIMENTS AT GIT RELATED TO TASK 2 WITHIN THEME 2: "MAPPING OPTICAL SIGNATURES WITH VOLATILE RELEASE FROM ICY REGOLITH SIMULANTS FOR PROVIDING GROUND TRUTH FOR PRIME-1, VIPER AND OTHER LUNAR MISSIONS" VIA INITIAL, EXPLORATORY MEASUREMENTS USING THE LABSPEC LABORATORY FACILITY AT JHU APL. DR HIBBITTS WILL PERFORM THE SPECIFIC TASKS OF CONDUCING REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY (350 NM TO 8000 NM) ON CRYOGENIC INTIMATE MIXTURES OF WATER ICE AND ONE HIGHLAND SIMULANT AND ONE MARE SIMULANT, WITH THE WATER ICE MIXTURE AT 2, 5 AND 10 WT%. GIVEN TIME, WE WILL EXPLORE WATER ICE GRAIN SIZE DEPENDENCIES ON THE REFLECTANCE PROPERTIES. SPECTRAL MEASUREMENT WILL BE MADE FROM ~ 130K TO WARMER NONCRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES TO OBSERVE HOW THE SPECTRA EVOLVE WITH THE LOSS OF WATER ICE. THESE MEASUREMENTS WILL DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE INTERPRETATION OF DATA RETURNED FROM THE VIPER NIRVSS INSTRUMENT AND FUTURE EXPLORATIONS INTO LUNAR PSRS SUCH AS THE TRAILBLAZER MISSION THAT WILL OBTAIN ORBITAL REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENTS IN THE INFRARED TO 3600NM. 2. ASSIST IN THE PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS. 3. VIRTUALLY ATTEND ANY CLEVER TEAM ALL-HANDS MEETING.

SEISMOMETER FOR A LUNAR NETWORK (SLN)

LAURA MAYORGA WILL PARTICIPATE IN TASK 6, THE HAPKE MODELING OF LAMP PHASE CURVES FOR SEVEN ROIS, IN TEAM MEETINGS, AND IN MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION.

THE LUNASCOPE (LUNAR STRUCTURE COMPOSITION AND PROCESSES FOR EXPLORATION) PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE CRUCIAL QUESTIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE MOON. THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MOON ENABLED BY ORBITAL AND LANDED SPACECRAFT, RETURNED SAMPLES, AND HUMAN EXPLORATION AND ITS PROXIMITY TO EARTH, MAKES IT AN IDEAL EXPLORATION TARGET TO SERVE AS THE ARCHETYPE TO UNDERSTAND EXPLORATION DESTINATIONS.
