- This is a $901,205 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, for a project focused on understanding the solar wind and its impact on space weather. The grant will fund research into fundamental questions about the origin and acceleration of the solar wind, its connection to smaller-scale solar phenomena, and the partitioning of the wind into fast and slow streams. The work will involve...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, doing business as Predictive Science Inc., a for-profit organization. The $410,000 grant supports a research project to study the evolution of coronal holes and their relationship to the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field. The project leverages data from the STEREO and SDO spacecraft to characterize coronal hole dynamics over the lifetime of those missions, with...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit organization, to investigate the origin of the slow solar wind. The work combines magnetohydrodynamic modeling, satellite imagery, and in-situ solar wind measurements to study the evolution of coronal holes and their relationship to the slow solar wind. The $303,369 grant supports research aligned with three of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey's...
- NASA awarded a $585,001 grant to New Mexico Consortium (Nmc), Inc. for research related to measurements of the solar wind. The research will be conducted in Los Alamos, New Mexico over a five-year period from January 2020 through January 2025. Nmc will perform work under this contract to advance NASA's understanding of the turbulent and heated plasma flow originating from the sun that propagates throughout the heliosphere, carrying magnetic fields and energetic particles. No subcontractors or...
- This is a $410,071.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Heliophysics Research, a non-profit organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The grant, titled "TRANSPORT OF TURBULENT MAGNETIC FIELD LINES: VALIDATION OF THEORY AND QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION THROUGH IN SITU SOLAR WIND DATA ANALYSIS", is for research related to understanding the transport of turbulent magnetic field lines in the solar wind.
