- This federal contract award, valued at $541,066.98, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on Titan's atmosphere and its interaction with Saturn's magnetosphere. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of the processes in Titan's lower ionosphere, which was not directly sampled by the Cassini mission. The project will utilize a three-dimensional particle code to model...
- This federal contract award, valued at $511,113.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The contract is for research related to Titan, a solar system object with an induced magnetosphere, and the motions of the incident plasma. This is an example of UC Berkeley's extensive work with federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense,...
- This is a $518,218 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research into "Diverse Convective Styles on Jupiter and Saturn." The grant has a period of performance through May 31, 2026. UC Berkeley, a public research university, will conduct this research as the prime contractor. The award is not a set-aside contract. The parent organization administering the funding is the State of California...

UC Berkeley, a public research university and 1862...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is to support research on how a planet's interactions with its host star can determine its evolutionary path, specifically focusing on how the plasma environment responds to the star's dynamic radiation and magnetic field. This grant is not set aside for any particular business type. The...
- This is a $618,627.78 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the interior of Saturn using data from the Cassini spacecraft's "Grand Finale" orbits. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework to understand the dynamics of helium rain and the effects of composition gradients in Saturn's interior. The project will leverage first-principles materials simulations and thermal evolution modeling to compare predicted gravity field data...
- This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The contract, valued at $128,841.85, is for Mike Wong to navigate the Jupiter and Saturn observations by determining the latitude, longitude, and emission angle for the infrared spectra obtained. This award is not associated with a set-aside program. The parent organization administering the funding is the State of California Controller's...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AQ62H, was granted by NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research related to Saturn's internal structure and thermal evolution. The $105,000 award will fund theoretical modeling and analysis to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by resolving open questions about Saturn's atmospheric helium depletion, heat content, and thermal state. UCSC, a large public research university, will apply its expertise in...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $475,275.00 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for research related to recent observations from the THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) probes. The research aims to investigate the presence of heavy ions of ionospheric origin mass. The grant is a 5-year contract, running from April 1, 2020 to...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1325, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $515,511.55 grant is for research to provide a complete understanding of the magnetosphere sources of the diffuse aurora precipitations. This research falls under NASA's space physics program. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. UC...
This federal contract award from NASA, valued at $278,305.00, was granted to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award supports research to investigate the coupling between the surface, magnetosphere, and exospheres of Saturn's icy moons, including Mimas, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea. The research will leverage a combination of plasma modeling, particle-based electrostatic models, and data analysis of Cassini spacecraft observations. The award is not set aside for any special business designation. As the parent organization, the State of California Controller's Office would administer any resulting funding. This award supports NASA's broader research efforts to understand the complex plasma interactions within the Saturn system.
