The University of Colorado was awarded a $378,264 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study and compare the induced magnetospheres and ion escape at Venus and Mars. This work utilizes publicly available data from NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and the European Space Agency's (ESA) Planetary Science Archive (PSA) and aligns with NASA's Solar System Working (SSW) program. The grant, awarded on May 1, 2020, is a civilian contract without any set-aside...
This is a $372,851.82 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado (CU) for a research project titled "Temporal Evolution of Plasma near Mars: A Multi-Point Approach." The project aims to use data from the MAVEN and Mars Express spacecraft to study the temporal and spatial variability of the Martian plasma environment, addressing key questions about the response time to changes in upstream conditions, the stability of plasma conditions at low...
This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
This federal contract award, valued at $594,278, was granted by a civilian federal agency to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to analyze new and unanticipated solar occultation measurements of the Mars thermosphere (120-200 km) made by the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Monitor (EUVM) onboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) orbiter. The award, which is classified as a Grant for Research, has an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2026. CU is a prominent public...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
This is a $479,712.43 grant 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. The grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple...
The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $533,094 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the dynamics of the Martian thermosphere, the upper atmosphere layer extending from 90 km to the exobase at around 200 km. The project will focus on understanding the coupling between the lower/middle Martian atmosphere, as measured by the Mars Climate Database, and the thermosphere up to the exosphere, including the aerobraking region between...
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...
This is a $393,354.90 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to study variations in Martian ion escape rates using machine learning methods applied to data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) and Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. The research aims to quantify the effects of upstream drivers like solar extreme ultraviolet radiation, solar wind, and interplanetary magnetic field on the two main ion escape...
The University of Colorado, Boulder has been awarded a $887,317 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "WAVE-DRIVEN ASYMMETRIES IN THE IONOSPHERE-THERMOSPHERE DUE TO ASYMMETRIES IN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN POLAR VORTICES". This 3-year grant is part of NASA's Heliophysics Science and Exploration research program and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado, a public research institution, will serve as the...
