- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $697,981 grant to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research to study waves generated by accelerated particles in the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on space weather. The research will utilize data from the ARTEMIS spacecraft, the VLASIATOR simulation code, and a new analytical model to examine the properties and dynamics of ultra-low frequency...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $853,214.00 grant is for a research project investigating how ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere-ionosphere system couple to generate geoelectric field variations relevant to geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). The research aims to better understand the spatial and...
- This is a $150,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Nmc, Inc., doing business as the New Mexico Consortium, a non-profit research organization in New Mexico. The grant is for a scientific research project to investigate the spatial and temporal structures of plasma populations and wave activity in the Earth's inner magnetosphere, with a focus on electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. The research aims to better understand the physical parameters...
- This $135,711.86 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is to study the impact of the plasmaspheric plume, a feature of the Earth's magnetosphere, on magnetic reconnection and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. The research aims to quantify how the high-density plasmaspheric plume affects the rate of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, which can significantly...
- This is a $114,946.04 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for a research project titled "Characterizing MHD Fast Mode Waves Outside the Plasmasphere." The goal is to study magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fast mode waves in the outer magnetosphere and how they may affect the radiation belt environment around geostationary satellites. The research will use data from NASA's THEMIS mission to analyze the...
