NASA Awards Washington State Remote Sensing Science Grants
NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington, selected Earth and Space Research and the University of Washington, both of Seattle, for grants to support Earth-Sun System science goals and remote sensing programs. The maximum Earth and Space grant value is $867,142; and for Washington, $1,839,523.
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.
