- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $431,596.55 grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the interaction between the solar wind and the atmosphere of Venus. The research aims to simulate this interaction with high fidelity in order to better understand features such as the super-rotation of Venus' upper atmosphere and plasma phenomena like the plasma tail...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $200,856.86 grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, for research on the interaction between the solar wind and unmagnetized planets like Venus. The primary objective is to study how the planetary interior, such as the conducting core size and electrical conductivity, influences the atmospheric ion loss and magnetic topology of Venus under various solar wind conditions, including extreme space weather events....
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) supports research on the response of the Venus ionosphere and induced magnetosphere to variations in solar wind conditions. The $358,447.71 grant, awarded on August 1, 2015, aims to leverage a sophisticated MHD model to study how the Venus plasma environment reacts to changes in solar wind pressure and interplanetary magnetic field direction. The study...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $606,496.77 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the distribution of thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere of Venus and hot oxygen in the Venus corona. This research will utilize the University of Michigan's Venus Thermosphere General Circulation Model (VTGCM) and a three-dimensional rarefied gas-kinetic model called V-AMPS, which is based on the Mars Adaptive Mesh Simulator (M-AMPS). The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $892,949 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the impact of solar flares and solar extreme ultraviolet radiation on the upper atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The research will utilize a global ionosphere thermosphere model to quantify the role of traveling atmospheric disturbances in shaping the upper atmospheres of these planets, and will involve data-model comparisons using observations from various Mars...
- This is a $520,337 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar wind turbulence and dissipation. The award aims to investigate how kinetic-scale fluctuations in the solar wind may contribute to heating and isotropizing the solar wind as it travels towards Earth. This research aligns with NASA's focus on understanding the physics of the Sun and solar system. The award was made directly to the...
- This is a $489,272.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct detailed dynamical and photochemical studies of the Venus middle atmosphere (approximately 70-110 km). The objective is to obtain a self-consistent understanding of the photochemistry, dynamics, heating, and microphysics of the Venus middle atmosphere using existing validated models and updated photochemical schemes....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $329,348.05 research grant to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to analyze data from solar and space weather monitoring instruments. The goal is to better understand the origin of the solar wind and its impacts on the near-Earth environment. This work supports NASA's heliophysics research program, which seeks to characterize the physical processes driving solar and space weather activity. The grant does not...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $275,868.00 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to recover, clean, document, and package ionospheric and atmospheric profiles acquired by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) radio occultation investigation. This effort is aligned with the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program's call for proposals to restore and archive important planetary datasets. The...
