- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to support the High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX) suborbital program. HELIX is designed to measure the isotopic composition of light cosmic ray nuclei at energies ranging from approximately 200 million electron volts per nucleon (MeV/nuc) to 10 billion electron volts per nucleon (GeV/nuc). This data will provide important...
- This federal contract award is for the HELIX: The High Energy Light Isotope Experiment, a co-investigator proposal led by the University of Chicago. The $855,126 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on the isotopic composition of high-energy cosmic ray nuclei. The goal is to extend previous measurements from the ACE/CRIS mission to higher energies in order to better understand the...
- This federal contract award is for the High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX), a new suborbital program designed to make detailed measurements of the isotopic composition of light cosmic-ray nuclei over an energy range from approximately 200 megaelectronvolts per nucleon (MeV/n) to 10 gigaelectronvolts per nucleon (GeV/n). The $2,639,553 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, to...
- This is a grant award to the Regents of the University of Michigan, valued at $1,060,930.00, for the High Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX) research program. HELIX is designed to measure the isotopic composition of light cosmic ray nuclei at energies ranging from 200 MeV/nucleon to 10 GeV/nucleon, which will provide essential information for understanding the propagation history of cosmic rays in the galaxy. The award is for a new suborbital program with the University of Chicago as the...
- This is a bridge funding proposal for the continuation of the first phase of the Suborbital Astrophysics Program, HELIX (High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment), a magnet spectrometer payload designed to make measurements of the isotopic composition of cosmic rays. The $2,793,443.81 contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, to support this research project. The contract does not have a...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $4.75M research grant on November 17, 2022, to support the continuation of the HELIX (High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment), a suborbital program designed to measure the isotopic composition of light cosmic-ray nuclei in the energy range of approximately 200 million to 10 billion electron volts per nucleon. The project extends beyond existing measurements from the ACE/CRIS mission by over an order of magnitude into energy ranges where fully resolved...
- This is a $56,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) to the Astronomical League Inc. for the Heliophysics Education Consortium (HEC) project. The HEC brings together a team of over 80 individuals from 32 institutions to deliver cutting-edge technology and education programs in support of NASA's science goals, including enabling STEM education, improving scientific literacy, leveraging partnerships, and serving...
- NASA awarded a $174,970 grant to Helicity Space Corp (UEI: XMKLZAKKJM77) on January 16, 2025, for participation in the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. The award, which carries an ultimate completion date of December 12, 2025, supports early-stage feasibility studies of visionary aerospace concepts designed to address national government and commercial aerospace objectives. The NIAC program solicits innovative concepts from any field of study that propose radically different...
- This is a $410,071.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Heliophysics Research, a non-profit organization located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The grant, titled "TRANSPORT OF TURBULENT MAGNETIC FIELD LINES: VALIDATION OF THEORY AND QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION THROUGH IN SITU SOLAR WIND DATA ANALYSIS", is for research related to understanding the transport of turbulent magnetic field lines in the solar wind. The grant has a period of performance from...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for research on the interaction between helium of interstellar origin and the heliosphere. The objectives of this $636,468.70 grant are to compute the analogous process that will generate a helium wall and a population of secondary helium, and to determine how the feedback of helium atoms charge-exchanging with helium ions will impact the structure of the...
This is a $228,855.95 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Northern Kentucky University Research Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope Experiment) project. HELIX will utilize a high-precision magnet spectrometer to provide measurements of cosmic-ray particles that are not achievable by any current or proposed instrument. The project will combine a superconducting magnet with state-of-the-art detectors to measure the charge, time-of-flight, magnetic rigidity, and velocity of cosmic-ray particles with high precision. The foundation will be responsible for fabricating the bottom time of flight detectors, instrument recovery preparations, and sharing simulations and analysis with all. This is a grant for research, and there is no set-aside designation for the award.
