About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $549,843 research grant to Lockheed Martin Corporation on May 1, 2023, for a study exploring the relationship between coronal dimmings and coronal mass ejections. The grant, which extends through April 30, 2026, is categorized as a research grant with a non-competitive pricing structure. Work will be performed at Lockheed Martin's facility in Palo Alto, California. This award carries no small business set-aside designation and represents part of NASA's broader heliophysics research portfolio, which seeks to advance understanding of solar dynamics and space weather phenomena that impact Earth and space-based systems.

Lockheed Martin Corporation, a large for-profit prime contractor headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, has a substantial track record of federal research funding, particularly in solar physics and space weather investigations conducted through collaborative partnerships with academic institutions. The coronal dimming and coronal mass ejection research aligns with the company's existing expertise in solar energetic particle studies and heliophysics research. The research initiative supports NASA's scientific objectives in understanding solar magnetic field behavior and coronal dynamics, contributing to improved space weather modeling and prediction capabilities.
