This is a $521,578.39 grant contract awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct research on the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The MMS mission aims to study magnetic reconnection - the process by which solar and terrestrial magnetic fields connect and disconnect, releasing energy that powers space weather. The research will analyze data from the MMS spacecraft to investigate the physical properties and evolution of magnetic flux...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lockheed Martin Corporation to determine how ions are transported across the low-latitude boundary layer on the flanks of the Earth's magnetosphere. The $523,693.31 grant supports the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission goals of understanding the interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. The research will analyze data from the MMS and THEMIS...
This is a $485,316.70 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to understand the dynamics of the Earth's magnetopause and the effects of flow shears on solar wind-magnetosphere coupling and the global field-aligned current system. The project aims to investigate the influences of flow shear and kinetic-scale vortices on magnetic reconnection processes, the orientation and magnitude of ion/electron flow vortices, and...
This federal contract award to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), is a $100,000.00 grant for research related to the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The project aims to develop an automated system to identify and classify magnetic reconnection events in data collected by the MMS spacecraft, which is designed to study electron-scale physics associated with reconnection. This will help refocus MMS operations by transferring key...
This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Instrument Suite Science Team (ISST). Under this $391,932,243 contract, SwRI will serve as the principal investigator (PI) institution for the MMS ISST, leading the Solving Magnetospheric Acceleration Reconnection and Turbulence (SMART) team through all mission phases. Key...
This is a $314,359.46 grant awarded by NASA to The University of Iowa to conduct research related to the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The goal is to use a data analysis methodology called MIMSSM to determine the statistical distribution of electron gyro-scale lengths across the MMS data set, in order to better understand the role of collisionless demagnetization and electron dynamics in magnetic reconnection events. The research aims to help realize the full promise of the MMS...
This is a $349,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research on the physics of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in space and astrophysical plasmas. Specifically, the research aims to investigate the onset and dynamic consequences of magnetic reconnection activity, including the properties of bursty bulk flows and dipolarization...
This is a three-year, $463,046.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the impact of solar wind structures on the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to improve understanding of magnetic reconnection processes at the dayside magnetopause and will leverage global magnetohydrodynamic and large-scale kinetic simulations, along with spacecraft observations from missions like Cluster,...
This federal contract award to Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado, is for a research project focused on the study of magnetic reconnection in space plasmas. The award, valued at $679,512.80, is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to investigate the waves, instabilities, and energy exchange processes that develop in the outflows from...
This is a $149,700 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a user-friendly tool to analyze ultra-low-frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves detected by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and connect them to the Earth's bow shock. The proposed work will leverage advanced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models to map the observed waves to a 2D plane, enabling statistical analysis under different solar...
