- The Space Science Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado, was awarded a $401,525 research grant by a civilian federal agency (via the Shared Services Center) on September 1, 2021, with a completion deadline of August 31, 2026. This grant supports a comprehensive statistical and numerical investigation into how magnetospheric ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves drive perturbations in ionospheric total electron content (TEC), a critical space weather phenomenon. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $697,981 grant to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research to study waves generated by accelerated particles in the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on space weather. The research will utilize data from the ARTEMIS spacecraft, the VLASIATOR simulation code, and a new analytical model to examine the properties and dynamics of ultra-low frequency...
- This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program and aims to use a systems-science approach to increase understanding of the connections between the solar wind and the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The key objectives of the grant are to determine the dominant correlations and time lags...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $183,984 grant is for a project focused on studying the properties of fast mode waves in the Earth's magnetosphere outside the plasmasphere. The research aims to answer questions about how the energy of these waves is distributed and their typical amplitudes compared to other ultra-low frequency waves. The project...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $252,516.00 grant is for a research project focused on understanding whether large-scale monochromatic ultra-low frequency waves in the Earth's outer electron radiation belt produce non-diffusive behavior. The research combines satellite observations and computer simulations to study three specific...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $436,837.23 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on developing a new data-based model of the Earth's magnetospheric field. The goal is to better separate the internal geomagnetic field from external fluctuations, in order to study rapid variations in the Earth's core field and improve understanding of deep...
- This is a $1,089,868.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a research project titled "ADVANCED STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SOLAR WIND CONTROL OF MAGNETOSPHERIC ACTIVITY AND MAGNETOSPHERIC PARTICLE POPULATIONS." The project will conduct advanced analysis of solar wind data to better understand its impact on the Earth's magnetosphere...
- This is a $143,551.05 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to develop an adaptive hybrid computational model that combines kinetic ion and fluid electron descriptions to enable more detailed simulations of turbulent solar wind conditions and their impacts on the Earth's magnetosphere. The model will be integrated with global...
- This is a $206,039 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a federal agency) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a project titled "MODELING MAGNETOTAIL DYNAMICS AND PARTICLE ACCELERATION RELATED TO MAGNETIC RECONNECTION" and has a period of performance ending on July 31, 2027. SSI, which has extensive experience supporting NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the...
- This is a $232,620 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) on December 1, 2019. The objective is to conduct a comprehensive study of storm-time behavior of mid-latitude and equatorial ionospheric electrodynamics and its interaction with the thermosphere. This will involve analyzing data from multiple satellites and ground-based measurements, as well as running physics-based...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The $853,214.00 grant is for a research project investigating how ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere-ionosphere system couple to generate geoelectric field variations relevant to geomagnetically induced currents (GICs). The research aims to better understand the spatial and temporal scales of magnetic field fluctuations and geoelectric fields associated with different ULF wave modes, and the combinations of ULF wave properties, driving conditions, and local ground conductivities that lead to the largest magnetic field changes and geoelectric fields. This grant-funded research aligns with NASA's Heliophysics Division strategic objectives to understand the Sun's interactions with the Earth and the broader solar system, including space weather effects. The award does not utilize any set-aside designations and is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2025.
