About this award
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 data to create combined particle spectra. This analysis will support NASA's ongoing and future missions, such as potential missions to Europa. The contract has no set-aside designation. MIT will leverage existing analysis codes to complete this work, which is expected to take one month of the principal investigator's time per year over the contract's duration until August 2023.
Description
The goal of this project is to archive voyager and galileo electron and particle distributions for use for future modeling and NASA missions such as those to europa. DR. Richardson is the PI of the voyager plasma experiment and an expert of these data. He and DR. Sittler will produce and archive data sets of electron parameters in the jovian magnetosphere. He will also assist in combining the voyager thermal plasma data with the energetic particle data to produce combined particle spectra. Both parts of this work will require a survey and collection of previous analyses and new analysis of data near the moons of jupiter. This analysis uses codes which are already mostly developed, so a month of DR. Richardson s time each year is sufficient to complete this work.
