- This is a $609,166 grant awarded to the Regents of the University of Colorado by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, for a research project titled "Understanding Venus Water Evolution via Photochemical Modeling of Nonthermal Hydrogen and Deuterium Escape to Space". The grant has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026 and is not associated with any set-aside designation. The University of Colorado is a prominent public research institution that frequently...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $378,264 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study and compare the induced magnetospheres and ion escape at Venus and Mars. This work utilizes publicly available data from NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and the European Space Agency's (ESA) Planetary Science Archive (PSA) and aligns with NASA's Solar System Working (SSW) program. The grant, awarded on May 1, 2020, is a civilian contract without any set-aside...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the fundamental physical constants of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The grant, valued at $238,712.16, aims to measure electron-impact-induced emission cross sections for these gases to support data analysis of observations from the SPICAM and IUVS instruments on the Mars Express and MAVEN missions. This grant does not...
- This is a $49,966.57 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for a project titled "Seasonal Variation of Deuterium Ions and Non-Thermal Deuterium Escape at Mars" with student Eryn Cangi. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023 and was granted on September 1, 2022 with no set-aside designation. The...
- This is a $1,282,535.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant supports research to better understand the global sources and sinks of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4), leveraging a combination of in-situ measurements, remote sensing data, and isotopic source signature analysis. The research aims to identify spatial...
- This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $614,573.66 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the importance of including low-frequency hiss, exohiss, and plasmapause-organized hiss in predictive modeling of electron dynamics in the inner magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify the impact of these "missing" aspects of hiss physics...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $398,692.95 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct laboratory research supporting the agency's Mars Express (MEX), Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), and Venus Express (VEX) missions. The research will utilize the MAVEN Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) engineering model to study the response of the Martian and Venusian upper atmospheres to variations in solar radiation. Key objectives...
- This is a $372,851.82 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado (CU) for a research project titled "Temporal Evolution of Plasma near Mars: A Multi-Point Approach." The project aims to use data from the MAVEN and Mars Express spacecraft to study the temporal and spatial variability of the Martian plasma environment, addressing key questions about the response time to changes in upstream conditions, the stability of plasma conditions at low...
This is a $479,712.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple three existing models developed by the proposers to compute thermal and non-thermal hydrogen escape rates, identify signatures of hot hydrogen escape at Mars, and determine the conditions under which non-thermal escape dominates. This work is considered a high priority to incorporate new data from recent Venus and Mars spacecraft missions. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
