- This federal contract award is for a research grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to investigate the role of waves in magnetic reconnection as part of NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The MMS mission was launched in 2015 to study magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetosphere, with a focus on how electron and kinetic scale phenomena impact this process. The awarded grant...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $109,650.59 grant for research to the University of Colorado, Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This grant supports a study of strong turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The research aims to analyze kinetic-scale turbulence, dissipative processes, and resulting particle heating and acceleration. The University will use MMS magnetometer and plasma...
- This is a $92,728.98 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a research project analyzing data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to conduct a detailed analysis of MMS observations in the solar wind, focusing on the extended mission phase and turbulence campaign. The research will be a collaboration between the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado and the Goddard Space Flight Center MMS team, with...
- This federal contract award is for a research grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to explore the fundamental topic of ion exhaust structure and its relation to electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) within asymmetric magnetopause reconnection exhausts during southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions. The $523,310.37 grant, awarded by a civilian federal agency, aims to employ high-cadence observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to...
- This $60,768.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support research for the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS). The MMS has collected extensive high-resolution plasma, particle, and magnetic field data in the Earth's magnetotail region from altitudes ranging from 12 to 29 Earth radii. The grant, awarded on September...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $259,283 grant to the University of Colorado (CU) for a single-source investigation of turbulent magnetic reconnection using observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission during the 2023 Unbiased Magnetosheath Campaign. This grant, awarded on November 1, 2023, has a performance period ending on October 31, 2025. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, will use...
- This $121,125 federal grant award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Regents of the University of Colorado, operating as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The award is for the University of Colorado to conduct research in alignment with the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission goals and objectives by analyzing MMS data, and to communicate the research findings to the scientific community. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $395,440.51 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The grant supports research to study the relationship between wave-particle interactions and magnetic reconnection, a key process investigated by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The research aims to...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K1204, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Colorado to conduct research on turbulent regions of ion diffusion and the nature of turbulence associated with magnetic reconnection using the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The $95,417.37 contract is a grant for research, without any set-aside designation. The University of Colorado, as the prime contractor, will leverage the MMS mission's four-spacecraft configuration and high time resolution to perform a statistical study of these turbulent regions and measure particle acceleration and dissipation rates. This research aims to expand scientific knowledge in the areas of space physics and plasma turbulence, with potential applications in defense, space, and environmental domains.
