- 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...
This is a $89,905.39 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) on September 1, 2017. The grant supports research on ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere using data from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). The goal is to build a database of ULF wave events and examine their dependencies on solar wind conditions, geomagnetic activity, and seasonal factors. The research will advance understanding of ULF wave generation mechanisms and their role in coupling the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere. This award does not have a set-aside designation, and Virginia Tech is the prime contractor without any listed subcontractors. As a leading public research university, Virginia Tech has extensive capabilities across engineering, science, and technology that it leverages to support federal agencies through contract and grant work.
