Delivery Order FA873214D0006-FA302017F0061

NASA awarded a $585,001 grant to New Mexico Consortium (Nmc), Inc. for research related to measurements of the solar wind. The research will be conducted in Los Alamos, New Mexico over a five-year period from January 2020 through January 2025. Nmc will perform work under this contract to advance NASA's understanding of the turbulent and heated plasma flow originating from the sun that propagates throughout the heliosphere, carrying magnetic fields and energetic particles. No subcontractors or...

This is a $901,205 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, for a project focused on understanding the solar wind and its impact on space weather. The grant will fund research into fundamental questions about the origin and acceleration of the solar wind, its connection to smaller-scale solar phenomena, and the partitioning of the wind into fast and slow streams. The work will involve...

This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) supports research into the dynamics of the solar wind, specifically investigating how the kinetic coupling of electrons and ions affects the large-scale behavior of the radially expanding solar wind. The research aims to address the "solar wind isotropy problem" - an observed phenomenon where the temperatures of solar wind electrons and protons become nearly isotropic, which has not been fully explained...

This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit organization, to investigate the origin of the slow solar wind. The work combines magnetohydrodynamic modeling, satellite imagery, and in-situ solar wind measurements to study the evolution of coronal holes and their relationship to the slow solar wind. The $303,369 grant supports research aligned with three of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey's...

The U.S. government has awarded a $27,307.20 Firm Fixed Price delivery order to Regency Consulting Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, for the provision of SOLAR WINDS LICENSES. The contract is under the Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V (SEWP V) government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Regency Consulting Inc. is a HUBZone small disadvantaged business owned by Native Americans that provides a...

This is a $318,040 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to conduct research on magnetic pumping as a possible source for the particle power-law distributions observed in the solar wind. The research aims to investigate how time-varying plasma densities and magnetic fields, velocity anisotropy, and pitch angle scattering can heat the solar wind and generate the observed power-law distributions of high-energy...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center awarded a $333,760.20 firm fixed price delivery order contract to Westwind Computer Products, Inc. under the Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement V Government Wide Acquisition Contract for a full upgrade to the existing Enterprise Boundary Network Infrastructure Detection System infrastructure. The upgrade is required due to technological advancements since the original procurement of the current infrastructure....
