About this award
The University of California, Berkeley received a $417.4K grant award from a civilian federal agency on October 13, 2020, with a completion date of October 12, 2026. This research grant supports scientific enhancement efforts related to the BepiColombo spacecraft missions to Mercury. The project will integrate in situ observational data collected by BepiColombo with three-dimensional kinetic simulations of Mercury's magnetosphere to maximize the scientific return from the mission's instruments. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition based on technical merit. UC Berkeley, a prominent research institution and land-grant university, serves as the prime contractor for this effort.
The funding represents support for fundamental space science research conducted at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility. As a critical federal research partner, UC Berkeley regularly conducts advanced scientific work across multiple domains including space exploration, materials science, and computational modeling for agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. This BepiColombo-related project aligns with the broader scientific community's efforts to advance understanding of planetary magnetospheres through integrated analysis of mission data and computational models, contributing to NASA's broader planetary science objectives.
Description
This project will focus on the enhancement of the scientific return from the in situ observations made by bepicolombo spacecrafts by combining the data acquired in situ with data from global 3-d kinetic simulations of the mercury's magnetosphere.
