About this award
This federal contract award is a $776,665 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on characterizing and validating solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray spectral irradiance models using photoelectron spectra. The research aims to improve models of the solar EUV flux and its impact on Earth's ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM) system. The work will utilize observations and models from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission at Mars to validate a Synthetic Reference Spectra (SynRef) irradiance model, compare it to existing models, and develop a soft X-ray proxy. The award is not associated with a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, a minority institution and 1862 land grant college, has extensive expertise in conducting advanced scientific research for federal agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense across various disciplines.
