NASA Awards Georgia Remote Sensing Science Grants

NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington, selected the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, for a grant to support Earth-Sun System science goals and remote sensing programs. The maximum grant value is $520,347.

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.
