- The University of Alabama's Office for Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $490,921 research grant effective January 1, 2023, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. This civilian-funded grant supports geophysical research analyzing the Martian crustal magnetic field using data collected by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) satellite. The research addresses two fundamental questions about Mars' geological history: whether strong magnetic signals in the Terra...
- This $292,595.19 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to conduct research related to mapping the crustal magnetic field of the planet Mercury. The objectives of the research are to: (a) evaluate whether magnetic anomalies are concentrated near impact basins on the opposite hemisphere of Mercury, in addition to the previously studied Caloris basin; (b) model selected anomalies to...
- This is a $200,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The grant is for research related to the Galileo spacecraft's observations of Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede, which revealed that the moon has an active large-scale internal magnetic field. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. The University of Alabama has a history of performing federal contract and grant...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports research into the evolution of Mercury's core and magnetic field. The award, valued at $458,936.10, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings research program. The research will use interior evolution models and 3D numerical dynamo models to investigate how Mercury's core and dynamo-generated magnetic field have changed over time. This work is intended...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $530,400 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) to conduct in-depth studies on magnetopause reconnection, flux transfer events, and region-1 field-aligned currents at Mercury using the full dataset from the MESSENGER mission. The research aims to understand the nature of magnetopause reconnection at Mercury, how solar wind conditions affect reconnection rate and related...
- The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) was awarded a $658,369 research grant by NASA on October 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This civilian research grant supports investigations into the solar wind—the continuous streams of charged particles emitted by the Sun that transport energy and magnetic fields through interplanetary space to the heliospheric boundary. The project leverages in situ observations collected by NASA's fleet of spacecraft positioned...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $327,067.95 grant to North Carolina State University, an 1862 Land Grant College and educational institution, to conduct research and prepare a global geological map of the planet Mercury. The work builds upon previous mapping efforts using data from the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, which orbited Mercury from 2011-2015. The new map will incorporate the final calibrated...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, valued at $371,205.31. The grant is focused on studying the impact of solar wind conditions on Mercury's magnetosphere and global plasma precipitation. Key research objectives include understanding how Mercury's magnetosphere responds to different types of solar wind conditions, the internal dynamics of the magnetosphere, and the predicted sputtering rate for these...
- This is a $134,694.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit university, to conduct research related to understanding Mercury's internally generated magnetic field. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to address limitations in current understanding due to the impact of external signals in Mercury's active magnetic environment. This award is not associated with a larger...
- This is a $87,676 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to advance the understanding of particle energization and transport processes throughout the heliosphere. The research aims to study energetic particle dynamics from the Earth's magnetosphere to the outer boundaries of the heliosphere, with applications to astrophysical processes beyond our solar system. UAH, a public research university, will utilize its...
