- This is a $412,840 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University for the objective of generating and archiving vertical profiles of ionospheric electron density at Titan and Saturn from archived Cassini radio occultation data. The grant involves modifying existing software to derive the electron density profiles, particularly for the case of Saturn's non-spherical, oblate shape. This effort is part of NASA's broader program for...
- This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $103,272 grant will fund research to measure and map the distribution of H3+ ions in Saturn's magnetosphere using data from the Cassini spacecraft's Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS). The goal is to determine if the presence of H3+ ions, which primarily originate in Saturn's...
- This federal contract award, valued at $214,401.02, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is for a three-year research effort to support the Cassini spacecraft's "Grand Finale" orbits around Saturn, which will provide direct measurements of the dust component of Saturn's main rings. The research will focus...
- This contract award of $349,056.63 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for the development of a "Coupled Tropospheric-Stratospheric Seasonal Photochemical Model for Saturn." The prime contractor is the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. SSI has extensive experience supporting NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Department of Energy (DOE) in areas such as astrophysics, planetary...
- This is a $272,940 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a non-profit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to further the understanding of the link between auroral particle precipitation and the production of complex organic molecules, such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in Saturn's high-latitude stratosphere and thermosphere. The work will involve photochemical...
- This is a $318,716 contract awarded by NASA to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The contract seeks to advance the understanding of the ionospheres of the solar system's giant planets through comparative planetology studies, which aligns with NASA's strategic objectives related to solar system workings and plasma environments. This grant-funded research contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prime federal contractor, Boston...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K1275, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the federal agency) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The contract, valued at $324,445.00, is a grant for research on "IONOSPHERIC OUTFLOW FROM THE GAS GIANTS: WHERE DOES THE PLASMA GO?". The contract has an ultimate completion date of July 12, 2026 and was awarded on July 13, 2023. The contract is not set...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Hampton University, a private non-profit educational institution, to construct 2D wind maps of Saturn's atmosphere. The $109,762 grant aims to further the understanding of Saturn's dynamic meteorology by utilizing Cassini mission data and advanced cloud feature tracking software. The research addresses a deficiency in the current knowledge of Saturn's atmospheric dynamics compared to the more extensively...
- This is a $326,097 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University to develop new models of Jupiter's upper atmosphere.
