About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), through its Shared Services Center, awarded a $150,000 research grant to the Trustees of Boston University to investigate whistler-mode waves in the lunar plasma environment and their response to interplanetary shocks. The contract, designated 23-HELIO23-0032, commenced on January 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. The work will be performed at Boston University's facilities in Boston, Massachusetts. This research grant carries no set-aside designation and represents a fundamental science investigation aligned with NASA's heliophysics research program, which seeks to understand dynamic processes occurring in the Sun-Earth system and lunar environment.
Boston University, a comprehensive research institution with extensive experience supporting federal scientific initiatives, is well-positioned to conduct this investigation given its established expertise in space exploration and plasma physics research. The university has a demonstrated track record of managing complex, multi-year research projects for NASA and other federal agencies, including significant grants and contracts in advanced scientific domains. This grant will contribute to broader NASA objectives regarding lunar science and space weather phenomena, enhancing understanding of how interplanetary disturbances affect the lunar plasma environment—knowledge critical for future lunar exploration missions and space weather research.
