The Trustees of Boston University have been awarded a $493,036 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate Saturn's equatorial ionosphere and its interaction with the planet's rings under a three-year research contract. The objective of the research is to focus on understanding the impact of ring material on Saturn's upper atmosphere and the generation of ions and neutral species. Performance will take place in Boston, Massachusetts. No set-aside...
This is a $412,840 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University for the objective of generating and archiving vertical profiles of ionospheric electron density at Titan and Saturn from archived Cassini radio occultation data. The grant involves modifying existing software to derive the electron density profiles, particularly for the case of Saturn's non-spherical, oblate shape. This effort is part of NASA's broader program for...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AI34G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University. The $178,450.00 grant is for the purpose of producing a comprehensive series of model predictions of Saturn's upper atmosphere to aid in refining planned in situ measurements and interpreting data obtained during the Cassini spacecraft's proximal orbits around Saturn. The contract is not designated as a set-aside award. Boston...
This is a $318,716 contract awarded by NASA to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The contract seeks to advance the understanding of the ionospheres of the solar system's giant planets through comparative planetology studies, which aligns with NASA's strategic objectives related to solar system workings and plasma environments. This grant-funded research contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime federal contractor, Boston...
This federal contract award, valued at $312,055.43, was granted to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct scientific research related to characterizing the distribution of carbon ions in Saturn's magnetosphere. The research aims to provide insights into the composition and activity of the Enceladus plume as well as Titan's atmospheric loss, by leveraging data from the Cassini mission. The award does not have a set-aside designation....
This is a $305,251 federal grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on June 1, 2019. The grant supports research to characterize the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere and ring system using data from the Cassini-Huygens mission's Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer. The proposed work will involve a detailed mass spectrometry analysis to quantify the abundances of major and minor atmospheric constituents, as well as...
This $178,368 research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a CubeSat mission called PetitSat, which will provide in-situ measurements of the plasma density, 3D ion drift, and ion and neutral composition in the mid- and low-latitude ionosphere. The goal is to investigate the link between plasma density enhancements and medium-scale traveling...
This is a $251,791.14 grant award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to analyze data from the Cassini mission and investigate mysteries surrounding energetic ions in Saturn's magnetosphere. The goal is to better understand the interactions between energetic particles and Saturn's neutral gas distribution. This aligns with NASA's objectives of enhancing scientific analysis of Cassini data to advance planetary science. The award does...
This is a $507,461 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on "INVESTIGATING LOW-LATITUDE ELECTRODYNAMICS AT JUPITER". The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime contractor, Boston University has received numerous federal contracts and grants from agencies such as the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, NASA, and National...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $465,182 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to conduct research related to the observations of Saturn's upper atmosphere from the Cassini spacecraft. This non-set-aside grant, with a performance period ending on April 30, 2025, will provide in-situ observations of the equatorial thermosphere and ionosphere obtained during Cassini's final mission phase. The University of Arizona, as...
