About this award
This is a grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization, to support the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (CATE) Next-Generation Experiment in 2024. The grant, valued at $620,564, will fund research to characterize the physical processes that shape the heating, structure, and evolution of the solar corona during a total solar eclipse. The project aims to determine the connectivity of structures in the middle corona, measure the flow of the nascent solar wind, and identify and characterize magnetic reconnection. This effort builds on the success of the original CATE experiment in 2017, which involved over 300 volunteer citizen scientists. The 2024 iteration will utilize an upgraded set of 40 new teams with larger-format polarization cameras to capture a 60-minute movie of the polarized corona out to 3 solar radii. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the funding agency is a civilian agency's Shared Services Center.
