- The University of Michigan's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects has been awarded a $435,314 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue calibration, analysis, and public release of data products from the Wind spacecraft's Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition (SWICS) Experiment. The instrument measures ions ranging from hydrogen to iron with energies between approximately 6 keV/q and 200 keV/q. This effort builds on the university's extensive...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan has been awarded a $490,256 research grant by a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) to continue development of advanced data products from the Wind spacecraft's Suprathermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS). The award, effective November 12, 2024, with completion targeted for January 5, 2029, supports the University of Michigan's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects in Ann Arbor. This effort builds upon three decades of solar wind...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to design a next-generation, low-resource, heavy ion composition spectrometer. The award, Contract ID 80NSSC22K1848, is designated as a grant for research with a completion date of September 5, 2025. The University of Michigan, a highly recognized research institution, has experience conducting research and providing...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division (doing business as the University of Michigan), a U.S. state government entity and educational institution. The grant, valued at $376,574.00, supports a research project to quantify the importance of stochastic ion heating in removing energy from turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind, compared to other heating...
- This is a $510,820.60 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as University of Michigan) to conduct a three-year research program studying anomalous solar wind and interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). The research aims to characterize the in-situ properties of these anomalous events, identify their source regions on the Sun, and understand the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $953,830 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as the University of Michigan), a U.S. state government educational institution. The grant is for research to examine fundamental questions related to ionospheric outflow and the impact and feedback of heavy ions in the magnetosphere. The research will investigate ion transport through the magnetosphere,...
- This is a $439,649.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, to enhance the capabilities of the Advanced Mass and Ionic Charge Composition Experiment (AMICCE) instrument. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a dual time-of-flight and energy (TOF-E) section for AMICCE, which will improve the instrument's ability to measure the ionic charge state, isotopic, and...
- This is a $439,322.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to examine data from the Van Allen Probes and THEMIS missions. The goal is to assess the connections and drivers of inner magnetospheric current densities and hot ion structures. Specifically, the research will test hypotheses about how localized electric field perturbations influence the spatial distribution of hot ions in the inner magnetosphere. This...
- This is a $253,600.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Regents of the University of Michigan for the TIMED Phase E TIDI Instrument Extended Mission Instrument Operations. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support the University of Michigan's research and operations for this space exploration instrument. The University of Michigan is a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution that has a proven track...
This is a $400,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as the University of Michigan), to develop a new heavy ion mass spectrometer as part of the Technology Development Opportunity (TDO) for the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission. The proposed Solar Wind and Pickup Ion Composition Energy Spectrometer (SPICES) is a time-of-flight energy (TOF-E) spectrometer designed to measure thermal solar wind, pickup ions, and suprathermal particles over an energy range of 0.5 to 130 keV/e. SPICES will employ new technology to accelerate low charge ions to measurable energies, enabling the measurement of velocity distribution functions for a wider range of ions to provide insight on acceleration mechanisms and sources of plasma in the heliosphere. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
