- This is a one-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, in the amount of $100,992.24. The grant is for a pilot study to investigate the mass, momentum, and energy transfer between the solar wind and the Venusian upper atmosphere due to the solar wind interaction. The research aims to characterize the energy, momentum, and mass exchange between the solar wind and the Venusian neutral plasma...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $200,856.86 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, for research on the interaction between the solar wind and unmagnetized planets like Venus. The primary objective is to study how the planetary interior, such as the conducting core size and electrical conductivity, influences the atmospheric ion loss and magnetic topology of Venus under various solar wind conditions, including extreme space weather events....
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) supports research on the response of the Venus ionosphere and induced magnetosphere to variations in solar wind conditions. The $358,447.71 grant, awarded on August 1, 2015, aims to leverage a sophisticated MHD model to study how the Venus plasma environment reacts to changes in solar wind pressure and interplanetary magnetic field direction. The study...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $606,496.77 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the distribution of thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere of Venus and hot oxygen in the Venus corona. This research will utilize the University of Michigan's Venus Thermosphere General Circulation Model (VTGCM) and a three-dimensional rarefied gas-kinetic model called V-AMPS, which is based on the Mars Adaptive Mesh Simulator (M-AMPS). The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $892,949 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the impact of solar flares and solar extreme ultraviolet radiation on the upper atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The research will utilize a global ionosphere thermosphere model to quantify the role of traveling atmospheric disturbances in shaping the upper atmospheres of these planets, and will involve data-model comparisons using observations from various Mars...
- This is a $422,667 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to continue obtaining high-precision measurements of the rotation of Venus and the Galilean satellites. The grant supports research focused on understanding the interior structure, thermal evolution, and geophysical processes of planetary bodies through analysis of their rotational responses. Specific objectives include quantifying changes in...
- This is a $395,731.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on energy transport and conversion processes at the interface of the plasma sheet and inner magnetosphere. The research aims to understand the nature of the energy transport process that supports the driving of large amplitude kinetic scale electromagnetic oscillations observed in this region and identify the processes...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0243, was granted to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Solar System Working Program. The $427,634.86 grant supports research to understand the atmospheric, climatologic, dynamic, geologic, physical and chemical processes in the Solar System, specifically examining the strength of Venus lightning as measured by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Venus Express missions. The...
- This is a 3-year, $113,209 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Solana Scientific, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to conduct 3D electromagnetic hybrid simulations investigating the interaction of the solar wind with Venus's atmosphere and ionosphere. The research will examine how the ion foreshock and phenomena associated with the quasi-parallel bow shock impact the Venusian magnetosheath and ionosphere. The grant does not have a set-aside designation....
- This federal grant award to the University of Colorado (CU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is focused on advancing the understanding of cloud dynamics and radiative balance in the Venus atmosphere. The $207,351.91 grant will support a series of microphysical cloud simulations using the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) to characterize the properties of Venus' clouds and their potential impact on the planet's atmospheric super-rotation...
