- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, supports research on atmospheric escape from Mars. The $89,247.08 contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is focused on studying the role of crustal magnetic fields in driving ion escape from the Martian atmosphere, which has implications for understanding the planet's past habitability. The work aligns with the...
- This is a $393,354.90 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to study variations in Martian ion escape rates using machine learning methods applied to data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) and Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. The research aims to quantify the effects of upstream drivers like solar extreme ultraviolet radiation, solar wind, and interplanetary magnetic field on the two main ion escape...
- This is a $372,851.82 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado (CU) for a research project titled "Temporal Evolution of Plasma near Mars: A Multi-Point Approach." The project aims to use data from the MAVEN and Mars Express spacecraft to study the temporal and spatial variability of the Martian plasma environment, addressing key questions about the response time to changes in upstream conditions, the stability of plasma conditions at low...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $398,692.95 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct laboratory research supporting the agency's Mars Express (MEX), Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), and Venus Express (VEX) missions. The research will utilize the MAVEN Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) engineering model to study the response of the Martian and Venusian upper atmospheres to variations in solar radiation. Key objectives...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AJ42G, 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. The $100,962.89 grant will fund a two-year study to analyze data from NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) mission, with the objective of characterizing the structure and composition of Mars' upper atmosphere and understanding the impact of atmospheric tides on...
- This federal contract award, valued at $276,313.37, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The project involves coupling existing data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission spacecraft's Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) instrument with the Boston University Mars Ionosphere Model (BU-MIM). The objective is to interpret MAVEN's...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the fundamental physical constants of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The grant, valued at $238,712.16, aims to measure electron-impact-induced emission cross sections for these gases to support data analysis of observations from the SPICAM and IUVS instruments on the Mars Express and MAVEN missions. This grant does not...
- This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC17K0735, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The $435,578 grant supports research to understand how Mars' crustal magnetic fields influence the density, composition, and electrodynamics of the Martian ionosphere. The work will primarily involve analysis of data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile...
- This contract award is to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, MA, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract, valued at $353,737, is for research to study the Total Electron Content (TEC) of the Martian ionosphere.
