<p>This is a $90,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois for research to understand the loss of water via hydrogen escape and its impact on the atmospheric evolution of planets. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund this heliophysics research project with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. The University of Illinois is the prime contractor for this grant award.</p>
This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to conduct research on the loss of water and hydrogen (H) escape to space, and its impact on the atmospheric evolution of planets. The $45,000.00 grant has a period of performance ending on December 9, 2023. This award supports fundamental research in heliophysics, a key area of focus for NASA's science programs. As a leading public research university, the University of...
This federal contract is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to conduct a novel analysis of Martian hydrogen corona measurements from the MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) mission's Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS). The goal is to better quantify the global, time-dependent distribution of the hydrogen corona and improve assessments of its ongoing loss to interplanetary space. The effort will utilize a...
The University of Illinois was awarded a $518,811 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to quantify the relative contribution of nitrogen ions to the total heavy ion population near Earth. The research will use simulations with the Space Weather Modeling Framework combined with observations from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale, Van Allen Probes, and Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms missions. Direct...
This federal contract award to The University of Iowa supports research to understand how energy is converted and distributed in high-temperature, low-density turbulent plasmas found in space environments. The $493,723 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to apply a novel field-particle correlation technique to data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The goal is to diagnose the mechanisms responsible for the removal of energy from turbulent...
This is a $94,047 training grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for an agency within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsored Research and Programs Division. The primary science objective is to study the relationships between high-latitude Poynting flux, ionospheric plasma drift, and thermospheric neutral wind in order to better understand how the geospace environment responds to energy input from the...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois for research related to predictive modeling of non-equilibrium thermochemical processes. The purpose is to advance the development, design, and optimization of high-speed atmospheric entry vehicles by improving computational methods for simulating the complex flow structures around these vehicles. The $800,000.00 grant supports the development of hybrid techniques that...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0959, was granted to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct two research projects related to understanding the accretion of volatiles to terrestrial planets, small planetary bodies, and the Moon. The first project focuses on determining the solubility of hydrogen gas (H2) in planetary magmas to better understand hydrogen mass transfer and associated chemical...
This is a $686,023 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities. The grant is for a research project to study the effects of the &quot;By&quot; component of the interplanetary magnetic field on the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere. The project will use numerical simulations and data from the TIMED GUVI satellite to understand how thermospheric composition...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K1475, is a grant for research valued at $150,000 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois in Urbana, Illinois. The contract is focused on &quot;DYNAMICS IN EVENT HORIZON TELESCOPE MOVIES&quot; and has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027. The University of Illinois, a public land-grant research institution, will be the prime contractor delivering this research. No set-aside...

This federal contract award with ID NNX16AF77G was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to conduct a multi-mission investigation of the global structure and dynamics of Earth's atomic hydrogen population and its coupling to the mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. The $470,186 grant supports research aimed at quantifying the physical mechanisms that control the distribution and dynamical transport of the terrestrial atomic hydrogen population, from its photochemical source in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere to its eventual escape via evaporation or solar wind pickup. The research utilizes data from NASA's TIMED, TWINS, and SOHO missions, as well as supplementary data from the NASA IMAGE and DMSP spacecraft, to yield an unprecedented quantification of the global, three-dimensional, and time-dependent distribution of hydrogen atoms in the upper atmosphere and their escape flux. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
