About this award
The Trustees of Princeton University was awarded a $338,866 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on March 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports research titled "Connecting In-Situ and Global Responses in the Heliosheath and Very Local Interstellar Medium" (20-ECIP20_2-0023), which builds on seven years of scientific measurements conducted by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in the previously unexplored very local interstellar medium. The work will be performed at Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration in Princeton, New Jersey.
This research project contributes to NASA's broader scientific mission to understand the dynamics at the boundary between the solar wind and the interstellar environment. By analyzing Voyager 1's in-situ measurements and correlating them with global responses in the heliosheath, Princeton researchers will advance understanding of the complex physical processes occurring at the edge of our solar system. The award reflects Princeton University's established expertise in executing sophisticated space science and fundamental research contracts for federal agencies, leveraging the institution's capabilities in data analysis and theoretical modeling of extreme space environments.
