About this award
This federal research grant, awarded on January 5, 2020, provides $585,001 to New Mexico Consortium (Nmc, Inc.) for a five-year research project studying solar wind heating and turbulence in the heliosphere. The research focuses on in-situ measurements of the solar wind, examining how ions are heated in low-beta compressible conditions despite the complex turbulent environment. The grant was awarded without set-aside designation through the NASA Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, with performance conducted at the awardee's facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico.
New Mexico Consortium is a non-profit research organization with extensive experience conducting heliophysics research for federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy. The organization specializes in interdisciplinary scientific research and frequently partners with academic institutions to advance space science capabilities. This award aligns with the consortium's established research portfolio in solar wind dynamics and plasma physics, complementing its broader work across multiple scientific domains in support of federal research priorities.
Description
The solar wind is the high speed plasma flow originated from the sun, carrying magnetic field and energetic particles and propagating throughout the heliosphere. In-situ measurements have shown that solar wind is turbulent and ions are heated, though
