The grant was awarded on September 1, 2019 and has an ultimate completion date of January 25, 2023. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Boston University has a history of receiving federal contracts and grants from...
- This is a $356,281.05 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the structure of the ionosphere above Mars' crustal magnetic fields. The research objectives are to map the spatial distribution of plasma in strongly magnetized regions of Mars, investigate the unusual ionospheric behavior in these regions, and use numerical simulations to identify the critical physical processes. The work...
- This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to assess the effects of solar energetic particle events on the environment of Mars. The work will analyze datasets from various Mars orbiters and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft to characterize the relationship between solar energetic particle fluxes and properties of the Martian surface and atmosphere. The $307,592.47...
