This is a five-year $5,799,201.94 cooperative agreement between NASA and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to continue the Visiting Scientist Programs (VSP) office's successful efforts in training and educating a new generation of heliophysics scientists and supporting interactions within the heliophysics community. Key aspects of the agreement include: Organizing, hosting, and administering the annual Heliophysics Summer Schools to foster learning and development of...

NASA's Goddard Space Center awarded a definitive contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation for mission operations and data analysis of the Atmospheric Image Assembly aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory on November 4, 2003, with a ceiling value of $146.7 million under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. The contract supports incorporation of Executive Order 14398 and sustains the Living with a Star program element. Place of performance is Palo Alto, California. The ultimate completion date is...

This is a $861,330.72 grant from NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on solar eruptive events. The goal is to use data-driven numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to understand how energized active regions on the Sun trigger coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other severe space weather disturbances. The research aims to determine the roles of photospheric boundary flows, adjacent magnetic fields, flux...

The Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a cost-plus-no-fee definitive contract awarded to The Regents of the University of Colorado by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on October 15, 2002. With a ceiling value of $61.6 million and an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, this contract supports the EVE instrument, a critical component of SDO that measures solar extreme ultraviolet radiation and its variability. Work will be...

This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0784, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters Heliophysics Division to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for a two-year period from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2019. The $83,403.02 grant will provide project leadership for the Predicting Solar Cycle 25 Workshops, which aim to convene a scientific panel to examine differing forecast scenarios for the amplitude and phase of solar...

This federal contract award, valued at $523,995.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages and operates major astronomical observatories and facilities. The proposed effort will determine the contribution of subsurface flows of active regions on flux cancellation at low latitudes and the resulting poleward migration of...

This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program and aims to use a systems-science approach to increase understanding of the connections between the solar wind and the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The key objectives of the grant are to determine the dominant correlations and time lags...
