This federal contract award to Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado, is for a research project focused on the study of magnetic reconnection in space plasmas. The award, valued at $679,512.80, is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to investigate the waves, instabilities, and energy exchange processes that develop in the outflows from magnetic reconnection sites observed by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and previous missions. The goal is to advance the understanding of the role of magnetic reconnection in the evolution of magnetospheric plasmas and its impact on phenomena such as substorms. The research methodology involves a combination of data analysis from spacecraft observations and data-driven computer simulations to directly compare real and synthetic measurements.
