- This federal contract award to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, is to conduct statistical analysis using simultaneous measurements of field and plasma data to investigate the scaling properties of solar wind turbulence. The main objectives are to study the scaling laws for the alignment angle between velocity and magnetic field fluctuations, the three-dimensional nature of the scale-dependent dynamic alignment, and the...
- This $464,803 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization located in Melbourne, Florida. The award supports research to identify the mechanisms and conditions that produce the double power-law spectrum observed in solar energetic particles by spacecraft in interplanetary space. The research aims to improve the understanding of particle acceleration and...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC19K1254, was granted to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH), a private non-profit university located in Melbourne, Florida. The $198,945.00 grant is for research to study the "current understanding and interpretations proposed in the literature to explain the spread of solar energetic particles in the heliosphere after the occurrence of a solar eruption." The award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency,...
- The U.S. government has awarded a $460,424 grant to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, to investigate the space-time correlation of solar wind turbulence. This research grant, with a performance period through November 2026, was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through its Shared Services Center. Florida TECH has extensive experience partnering with federal agencies on scientific research and...
- This is a $348,020.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization located in Melbourne, Florida. The grant is for a research project focused on studying high-energy components of solar energetic particles (SEPs), which pose a significant space weather hazard. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition. As a leading...
- This federal contract award, valued at $531,003.97, was granted to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization, to conduct research on the effects of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The research aims to investigate the interaction between compressional Pc 4-5 waves (2-22 MHz) and EMIC waves (0.1-5 Hz), as well as the impact of EMIC waves on relativistic electron precipitation in the...
- Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private nonprofit university based in Melbourne, Florida, received a $548,078 research grant from a Civilian Shared Services Center federal agency, awarded on January 15, 2020, with a completion date of January 12, 2025. The grant supports research on the prediction of solar energetic particle radiation timing and dosage using physics-guided machine learning algorithms that incorporate remote observations of the solar photosphere, corona,...
- This is a $106,425.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Florida Institute of Technology, Inc. (doing business as Florida TECH), a private non-profit university. The grant is focused on researching the origins of the double power-law spectral profile observed in solar energetic particles (SEPs) at 1 AU. The research will examine two hypotheses: 1) the profile is generated close to the Sun due to finite shock lifetime/size or...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH), a private university and non-profit organization located in Melbourne, Florida. The grant, valued at $239,992.00, is to study the propagation of million-electron-volt (MEV) anomalous and galactic cosmic rays at the heliopause boundary using the Voyager 1 spacecraft's anisotropy measurements. This research supports the broader program of "Probing the...
This federal contract award, valued at $312,161.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Florida Institute of Technology, Inc. (Florida TECH) to develop new methods and tools for understanding the relationship between single-point spacecraft measurements and the three-dimensional physical properties of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere. The primary objective is to produce synthetic data simulating measurements from instruments on board the upcoming Solar Probe Plus (SPP) and Solar Orbiter (SO) missions, and then develop analytical methods to establish meaningful connections between the synthetic measurements and the three-dimensional properties of the solar wind. This work will support the science return of these pioneering missions by enabling comparisons between SPP measurements and the project's simulation-based findings. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition. As a leading research university, Florida TECH has extensive experience partnering with NASA and other federal agencies on a wide range of scientific research and technology development initiatives.
