About this award
The University of New Hampshire has been awarded a $750.5K research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate the dayside ionospheric dynamo, with specific focus on understanding morning sector Sq (solar quiet) currents. The investigation will be conducted through two instrumented rocket launches from Wallops Flight Facility on separate days during summer 2026 to sample the morning Sq current system. The award is effective through February 11, 2028, with no set-aside designation applied. As a research-intensive, land-grant institution with extensive experience supporting federal agencies in aerospace and space weather research, UNH is well-positioned to execute this scientific mission.
This grant-funded research effort aligns with the university's demonstrated capabilities in space science and atmospheric research, areas where UNH has previously developed solar wind plasma sensors and collaborated with federal agencies including NASA and NOAA. The research will advance fundamental understanding of ionospheric dynamics, which has applications for space weather prediction and satellite communications. The work will be performed at the university's location in Lee, New Hampshire, leveraging the institution's technical expertise and instrumentation capabilities to support the civilian agency's space science objectives.
