About this award

The University of California, Berkeley was awarded a $349,980 research grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate the effects of Callisto's perturbed electromagnetic environment on energetic magnetospheric ions and electrons. The project, which runs through December 31, 2024, will examine the spatial distribution and time variability of particle number and energy fluxes onto Callisto's atmosphere and surface, as well as their contribution to surface sputtering and ultraviolet brightness patterns. This research grant represents a competitively awarded, merit-based contract with no set-aside designation, reflecting the government's evaluation of UC Berkeley's technical capabilities in advanced space physics research.

As a leading research institution and land-grant university, UC Berkeley routinely supports federal agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, DARPA, and the Department of Energy across diverse scientific domains. This award is structured as a child contract under the State of California Controllers Office, which serves as the administrative parent entity. The research will be conducted at UC Berkeley's Albany, California location and contributes to the university's broader portfolio of federally funded space exploration and astrophysical research initiatives.

Description

The purpose of this project is to constrain the influence of callisto's perturbed electromagnetic environment on the dynamics of energetic magnetospheric ions and electrons near the moon. In particular, we will investigate the spatial distribution an
