The contract requires APL to provide labor, equipment, materials, and facilities to...
This is a $175,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Fundamental Technologies LLC, a for-profit limited liability company. The purpose of the grant is to upgrade data products from the Voyager spacecraft's Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) instrument to enhance understanding of the outermost limits of solar influence. Fundamental Technologies has previously provided services related to processing and re-processing Voyager...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K1643, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to archive electron and particle distribution data from the Voyager and Galileo missions for use in future modeling and research. The $93,084.19 fixed-price grant aims to produce and archive datasets of electron parameters in the Jovian magnetosphere, as well as combine Voyager thermal plasma data with energetic particle...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants. The $298,260 grant will fund an effort to re-analyze and archive data from the Voyager spacecraft's Plasma Science (PLS) instrument, which measured ions and electrons during the Voyager missions' encounters with the giant planets from 1979 to 1989. The key objectives are to archive the complete magnetospheric data sets from Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune,...
This is a delivery order contract awarded by the Jet Propulsion Lab, a division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), to support the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) 70-5159. The contract has a total ceiling value of $57,820,179.08 and a completion date of September 30, 2027. It is a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract type. Caltech, as the prime contractor, will provide research, engineering, and technical services in support of this space systems project. No set-aside designation...
This federal contract award, valued at $107,992.67, was granted to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to examine high-resolution Voyager spacecraft magnetic field data for evidence of physical processes at kinetic scales in the outer heliosphere. The data analysis will focus on waves excited by newborn interstellar pickup ions as well as properties of the magnetohydrodynamic turbulent cascade and dissipation. This work is relevant to...
This federal contract award to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is for the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft mission to explore the very local interstellar medium (VLISM). The $524,913 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on February 1, 2022, with a period of performance through January 31, 2026. As a public research university, UAH provides a range of scientific research and engineering services to support NASA's space exploration programs....
This is a $510,367.55 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to study the interaction of the Sun with the solar system and the interstellar medium. The grant supports the objectives of the Voyager mission, which aims to explore the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence and beyond. The work addresses two key goals from the Heliophysics Decadal Survey - determining the interaction of the Sun with...
