About this award
This federal contract award of $691,320.00 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling during STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) and SAID (Subauroral Ion Drift) events. The research aims to validate hypotheses, characterize large-scale magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, and examine the magnetosphere-ionosphere conditions that favor the formation of extreme SAID events associated with STEVE emissions. This work is directly relevant to NASA's Heliophysics program, which focuses on understanding the Sun and its interactions with Earth and the solar system, including space weather. The contract is not set aside for small businesses, reflecting Virginia Tech's established expertise and capabilities in this domain. Virginia Tech has a long history of collaborating with federal agencies, including NASA, to advance scientific knowledge and develop cutting-edge technologies through contract and grant awards.
