- This federal contract award, valued at $312,161.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Florida Institute of Technology, Inc. (Florida TECH) to develop new methods and tools for understanding the relationship between single-point spacecraft measurements and the three-dimensional physical properties of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere. The primary objective is to produce synthetic data simulating measurements from instruments on board the upcoming...
- This is a $106,425.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Florida Institute of Technology, Inc. (doing business as Florida TECH), a private non-profit university. The grant is focused on researching the origins of the double power-law spectral profile observed in solar energetic particles (SEPs) at 1 AU. The research will examine two hypotheses: 1) the profile is generated close to the Sun due to finite shock lifetime/size or...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $511.6K research grant to Florida Institute of Technology Inc. for a three-year project titled "On the Origin of Energetically-Dominant Sunward-Propagating Alfven Waves in the Solar Wind," with performance based in Melbourne, Florida and completion targeted for July 2026. This grant supports fundamental space science research investigating the generation and characteristics of Alfven waves—electromagnetic disturbances propagating through the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $531,003.97, was granted to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, to conduct research on the effects of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The research aims to investigate the interaction between compressional Pc 4-5 waves (2-22 MHz) and EMIC waves (0.1-5 Hz), as well as the impact of EMIC waves on relativistic electron precipitation in the...
- Florida Institute of Technology Inc., doing business as Florida Tech, has been awarded a $547,724 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate the radial evolution of the scaling properties of intermittency in the solar wind. The research will be conducted under NASA's program to advance understanding of solar phenomena and their impacts. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. Work will be performed at Florida Tech's...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization located in Melbourne, Florida. The grant, valued at $239,992.00, is to study the propagation of million-electron-volt (MEV) anomalous and galactic cosmic rays at the heliopause boundary using the Voyager 1 spacecraft's anisotropy measurements. This research supports the broader program of "Probing the...
This federal contract award to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, is to conduct statistical analysis using simultaneous measurements of field and plasma data to investigate the scaling properties of solar wind turbulence. The main objectives are to study the scaling laws for the alignment angle between velocity and magnetic field fluctuations, the three-dimensional nature of the scale-dependent dynamic alignment, and the role of cross-helicity, residual energy, and compressibility on the scaling of the dynamic alignment. This $488,570.00 grant for research is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and directly addresses the goals of the WIND and CLUSTER missions to investigate basic plasma processes in the near-Earth solar wind, as well as the Heliophysics Decadal Survey's goal to discover and characterize fundamental processes in the heliosphere. Florida TECH has extensive experience conducting cutting-edge space science research and partnering with federal agencies like NASA on such initiatives. This award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition.
