About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This federal contract award from a civilian U.S. government agency funds a concept study to investigate energetic electron precipitation (EEP) into the upper atmosphere, which is a primary source of loss from the radiation belts. The study aims to address limitations in current instrumentation that cannot resolve the loss cone angle or measure the pitch angle distribution, leading to large uncertainties in the energy deposition in the atmosphere. The University of Colorado, a prominent public research university, was awarded this $4,544,281 grant to conduct the study and provide a report by June 3, 2019. No set-aside designation was used for this contract. The University of Colorado has an extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants across scientific and technological domains, including with NASA, the Department of Defense, and NOAA, showcasing its capabilities in delivering complex scientific and technological services.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Conduct a concept study of the initially proposed investigation and provide a report on this study by june 3, 2019. Precipitation into the upper atmosphere is one of the primary sources of loss from the radiation belts. Numerous spacecraft have attempted to measure this energetic electron precipitation (EEP) from low-earth orbit (LEO); however, current instrumentation is not able to resolve the loss cone angle nor measure the pitch angle distribution, and thus the energy deposition in the atmosphere has a large uncertainty. Furthermore, particle detectors on spacecraft provide in-situ detection only, and single-spacecraft missions cannot provide instantaneous spatial information about the precipitation patches.
