- The Trustees of Boston University was awarded a $493,036 research grant effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024, to investigate Saturn's equatorial ionosphere and its interaction with the planetary rings. The primary objective focuses on understanding how ring material impacts Saturn's upper atmosphere and the electrodynamic coupling mechanisms between the ring-atmosphere system and associated ionospheric anomalies. The grant was funded through a civilian...
- This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $103,272 grant will fund research to measure and map the distribution of H3+ ions in Saturn's magnetosphere using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS). The goal is to determine if the presence of H3+ ions, which primarily originate in Saturn's...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AI34G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University. The $178,450.00 grant is for the purpose of producing a comprehensive series of model predictions of Saturn's upper atmosphere to aid in refining planned in situ measurements and interpreting data obtained during the Cassini spacecraft's proximal orbits around Saturn. The contract is not designated as a set-aside award. Boston...
- This $178,368 research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a CubeSat mission called PetitSat, which will provide in-situ measurements of the plasma density, 3D ion drift, and ion and neutral composition in the mid- and low-latitude ionosphere. The goal is to investigate the link between plasma density enhancements and medium-scale traveling...
- This is a $348,630 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University for a research project titled "TWILIGHT AND NIGHTSIDE IONOSPHERIC ELECTRON DENSITY PROFILES FROM MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR RADIO OCCULTATIONS". The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, has an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2027. As a private university and non-profit organization, Boston University has a track record of serving as a prime...
- This is a $88,501 grant awarded by NASA to the Trustees of Boston University to conduct research on generating profiles of electron density in the lunar ionosphere using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's radio occultation observations. As a private university with extensive experience executing federal research contracts and grants, Boston University will carry out this one-year study to advance understanding of the lunar ionosphere. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
- This is a $864,129.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private, non-profit educational institution, to conduct research on the relationship between GPS radio signal scintillation and plasma conditions in the high-latitude ionosphere. The research aims to address three key science questions: (1) how scintillation occurrence and strength are related to ionosphere conditions, (2) what types of auroral and airglow forms are...
- This is a $457,822 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a study to examine the origin and evolution of energetic particle populations in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, with a focus on rapid space-time scales associated with geomagnetic substorms. The research will utilize coordinated analysis of in-situ measurements from spacecraft like THEMIS,...
- This is a $130,772.63 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the nonlinear effects of chorus waves on Earth's radiation belt electron acceleration and precipitation. The research project combines theory, modeling, and data analysis to evaluate these effects, which aligns with NASA's Heliophysics Research Program. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. Boston...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Hampton University, a private non-profit educational institution, to construct 2D wind maps of Saturn's atmosphere. The $109,762 grant aims to further the understanding of Saturn's dynamic meteorology by utilizing Cassini mission data and advanced cloud feature tracking software. The research addresses a deficiency in the current knowledge of Saturn's atmospheric dynamics compared to the more extensively...
