- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $431,596.55 grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the interaction between the solar wind and the atmosphere of Venus. The research aims to simulate this interaction with high fidelity in order to better understand features such as the super-rotation of Venus' upper atmosphere and plasma phenomena like the plasma tail...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) supports research on the response of the Venus ionosphere and induced magnetosphere to variations in solar wind conditions. The $358,447.71 grant, awarded on August 1, 2015, aims to leverage a sophisticated MHD model to study how the Venus plasma environment reacts to changes in solar wind pressure and interplanetary magnetic field direction. The study...
- This is a one-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, in the amount of $100,992.24. The grant is for a pilot study to investigate the mass, momentum, and energy transfer between the solar wind and the Venusian upper atmosphere due to the solar wind interaction. The research aims to characterize the energy, momentum, and mass exchange between the solar wind and the Venusian neutral plasma...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $606,496.77 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the distribution of thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere of Venus and hot oxygen in the Venus corona. This research will utilize the University of Michigan's Venus Thermosphere General Circulation Model (VTGCM) and a three-dimensional rarefied gas-kinetic model called V-AMPS, which is based on the Mars Adaptive Mesh Simulator (M-AMPS). The...
- This is a 3-year, $113,209 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Solana Scientific, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to conduct 3D electromagnetic hybrid simulations investigating the interaction of the solar wind with Venus's atmosphere and ionosphere. The research will examine how the ion foreshock and phenomena associated with the quasi-parallel bow shock impact the Venusian magnetosheath and ionosphere. The grant does not have a set-aside designation....
- The Trustees of Boston University received a $205,690 research grant from the Shared Services Center for a project titled "Solar Wind Interaction with Venus: From the Planetary Interior to Interplanetary Space." Awarded on September 8, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 7, 2026, this grant supports fundamental scientific research investigating the complex interactions between solar wind phenomena and Venus's planetary environment. The contract carries no set-aside...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $275,868.00 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to recover, clean, document, and package ionospheric and atmospheric profiles acquired by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) radio occultation investigation. This effort is aligned with the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program's call for proposals to restore and archive important planetary datasets. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $892,949 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the impact of solar flares and solar extreme ultraviolet radiation on the upper atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The research will utilize a global ionosphere thermosphere model to quantify the role of traveling atmospheric disturbances in shaping the upper atmospheres of these planets, and will involve data-model comparisons using observations from various Mars...
- This is a $382,860 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate the potential for early aqueous processes on Venus and their effects on the planet's subsequent geological evolution. The research aims to provide insights into the early history of Venus, including the possibility of an ancient ocean and its impacts on the Venus' atmosphere and surface composition. The work complements climate modeling efforts to...
- This is a $422,667 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to continue obtaining high-precision measurements of the rotation of Venus and the Galilean satellites. The grant supports research focused on understanding the interior structure, thermal evolution, and geophysical processes of planetary bodies through analysis of their rotational responses. Specific objectives include quantifying changes in...
