- The University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating under the University System of New Hampshire, was awarded a $1.85M grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on December 18, 2019, to support scientific research operations through December 17, 2024. The award funds the collection and analysis of plasma characteristics measurements from protons, alpha particles, and heavy ions aboard NASA's STEREO observatories using the Plasma and Suprathermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) sensors. The three-year...
- This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant award to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research, supports research on the propagation of coronal mass ejections and plasma processes in the near-Earth solar wind. The $539,545 grant aligns with the Heliophysics Decadal Survey's goal of determining the origins of the Sun's activity and predicting variations in the space...
- This is a $1,587,936.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to conduct research on the origin and physical processes behind suprathermal ion distributions in various plasma environments throughout the heliosphere. The research aims to provide fundamental insights into plasma dynamics and fill gaps in understanding that are essential for interpreting observations...
- This is a $2,316,190.15 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a research university within the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports research to understand how the Earth's atmosphere responds to solar variability. The work aims to advance knowledge of the physical processes that mix the upper atmosphere and the connections between the Sun and Earth's...
- The University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, has been awarded an $817,526 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the science goals and objectives of how the solar wind flowing past the terrestrial magnetosphere changes over time, including abruptly. No set-aside designation was used for this award. Work will be performed at a location in Lee, New Hampshire and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024. UNH will...
- This $524,456 federal grant award to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), supports research to study the plasma sheet density, composition, and solar wind transport using data from various space science instruments. The research will involve a combination of case studies and statistical analysis to assess the time lag between changes in solar wind parameters and the plasma sheet, as well as correlations between the helium and hydrogen...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, for a research project on plasma turbulence in the solar wind. The award, valued at $611,917.74, will support an extensive program of investigations involving hybrid simulations, data analysis, and theoretical modeling to explore the driving of turbulence by interstellar pickup ions in the outer solar system. The research aims...
- This is a $46,265 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to study "The Ion Strahl and Its Contribution to Solar Wind Energization in Different Types of Solar Wind". The grant supports solar physics research and has a period of performance through March 2026. UNH, a non-profit 1862 land grant university, frequently serves as a prime contractor and...
- This is a $1,008,288 grant awarded by NASA to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for a research project to develop an ion instrument capable of measuring a wide range of plasma ion fluxes in the heliosphere. The project aims to advance NASA's science goals related to understanding the coupling between the solar wind, interplanetary events, and the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. This grant builds on UNH's experience as a prime contractor and subcontractor supporting research initiatives...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a non-profit educational institution and 1862 Land Grant College. The grant, valued at $248,899.00, supports continued research efforts by UNH in the areas of heliospheric and magnetospheric physics. Key focus areas include: investigating magnetospheric-ionospheric coupling processes and the structure of reconnection layers, studying substorm evolution and...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,099,994.90 grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to collect and analyze plasma measurements from the STEREO spacecraft during the declining phase of the current solar cycle. The grant supports three broad science goals: characterizing space weather, studying the corona and solar wind at solar minimum, and determining what can be learned from full heliosphere coverage. This aligns with NASA's Heliophysics Roadmap focus areas of open frontier for space environment prediction, understanding the nature of our space environment, and safeguarding exploration. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UNH, as a non-profit educational institution and land grant university, leverages its research and technical capabilities to support NASA's heliophysics mission through this two-year grant.
