- 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 $86,567.24 federal grant award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on the roles of organic compounds produced by photolysis and radiolysis in various physical and chemical processes on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on March 1, 2022, with a performance period ending on January 16, 2024. UCSC, a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, frequently...
- 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...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AG08G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate large-scale dynamics and tracer transport in the middle atmosphere of the gas giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The $387,655.97 grant supports the use of comprehensive three-dimensional circulation models to improve understanding of these planetary atmospheres based on space-based and...
- 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 is a $209,469.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a research project titled "CONSTRAINING STABLE STRATIFICATION AND DEEP WINDS INSIDE SATURN WITH CASSINI MAGNETOMETER DATA AND DYNAMO SIMULATIONS". The award is to support specialized scientific research utilizing data from the Cassini mission to study the internal structure and atmospheric dynamics of Saturn. This is a non-set-aside grant with a period of...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists (CDAPS) program is for a comprehensive data analysis and modeling effort using magnetometer data from the Cassini spacecraft to study the role of solar wind driven convection in Saturn's magnetosphere. The $345,118.42 grant will enable UCLA researchers to assemble a database of magnetic field measurements, compute current densities, and enhance global...
