The grant will fund a project titled "High-Time-Resolution Observation from MMS Guided by Simulations of Reconnecting Plasmas Reveal that Both Electron and Ion" over a period ending on August 31, 2025. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is structured as a grant for research. The University of...
This $60,768.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support research for the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS). The MMS has collected extensive high-resolution plasma, particle, and magnetic field data in the Earth's magnetotail region from altitudes ranging from 12 to 29 Earth radii. The grant, awarded on September...
This $98,588.98 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to conduct research on magnetic reconnection processes in the Earth's magnetotail. The University of Colorado, an accredited public research institution, will use this funding to study the rapid transport of magnetic flux and plasma towards and away from the Earth, as observed by satellite...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000.00 grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for research on "INVESTIGATIONS OF PARTICLE ENERGIZATION DUE TO PLASMA TURBULENCE AND MAGNETIC RECONNECTION WITH THE MAGNETOSPHERIC.MULTISCALE MISSION". This grant, which is not designated as a set-aside, has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The University of Colorado is a prominent public...
This $1,435,079 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The award is for research to study how magnetic reconnection processes in the solar wind cause current sheets to break up and release magnetic field energy. The work will expand scientific knowledge in space physics and contribute to NASA's heliophysics...
This is a $92,728.98 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a research project analyzing data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to conduct a detailed analysis of MMS observations in the solar wind, focusing on the extended mission phase and turbulence campaign. The research will be a collaboration between the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado and the Goddard Space Flight Center MMS team, with...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $104,811.59 grant for research to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning.
