Grant For Research 80NSSC19K0048

This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire (UNH) division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The $824,999.64 grant supports a research investigation to understand the electrodynamic dynamo in the dayside mid-latitude ionosphere driven by thermospheric winds and ionosphere interactions. UNH will provide instrumentation and measurements of winds, neutral temperature, turbulence, and ion composition profiles, which will be combined with other rocket and ground-based data to gain insights into this phenomenon. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
