About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a $898,670.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University on September 9, 2020 for research on magnetotail reconnection and its relationship to substorms. The grant has a period of performance through November 29, 2025. The research aims to better understand how the strength and distribution of the northward magnetic field Bz impacts the onset of magnetotail reconnection, which is thought to be the cause of substorms. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University is a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland that conducts significant scientific research for federal agencies across a range of disciplines including biomedical science, public health, engineering, and space exploration.

Description

As the agency reported it.

Science goals and objectives: magnetotail reconnection is inherently unsteady. Its onset, which is thought to be the cause of substorms, critically depends on the strength of the northward magnetic field BZ and its distribution along the tail.
