- This is a $129,703.06 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder for a research project titled "A Comprehensive Model for Mercury's Exosphere from MESSENGER Data". The grant is funded under NASA's Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP), which aims to enhance the scientific return of Discovery Program missions. The purpose of the research is to use data from the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer...
- This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
- This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, is for NASA to conduct ground-based observations of Mercury's exosphere. The primary goals are to: 1) Continue ongoing measurements of sodium, calcium, and potassium, and 2) Observe less abundant species such as aluminum, iron, manganese, and calcium ion to expand upon the observations made by the MESSENGER mission. This $392,043.66 grant is intended to provide long-term...
- This $60,768.27 grant was awarded 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, to support research for the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS). The MMS has collected extensive high-resolution plasma, particle, and magnetic field data in the Earth's magnetotail region from altitudes ranging from 12 to 29 Earth radii. The grant, awarded on September...
- This is a $393,354.90 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to study variations in Martian ion escape rates using machine learning methods applied to data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) and Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. The research aims to quantify the effects of upstream drivers like solar extreme ultraviolet radiation, solar wind, and interplanetary magnetic field on the two main ion escape...
- This federal contract award, valued at $594,278, was granted by a civilian federal agency to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to analyze new and unanticipated solar occultation measurements of the Mars thermosphere (120-200 km) made by the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Monitor (EUVM) onboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) orbiter. The award, which is classified as a Grant for Research, has an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2026. CU is a prominent public...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, supports research on atmospheric escape from Mars. The $89,247.08 contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is focused on studying the role of crustal magnetic fields in driving ion escape from the Martian atmosphere, which has implications for understanding the planet's past habitability. The work aligns with the...
- This is a $92,728.98 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a research project analyzing data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to conduct a detailed analysis of MMS observations in the solar wind, focusing on the extended mission phase and turbulence campaign. The research will be a collaboration between the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado and the Goddard Space Flight Center MMS team, with...
- This is a $372,851.82 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado (CU) for a research project titled "Temporal Evolution of Plasma near Mars: A Multi-Point Approach." The project aims to use data from the MAVEN and Mars Express spacecraft to study the temporal and spatial variability of the Martian plasma environment, addressing key questions about the response time to changes in upstream conditions, the stability of plasma conditions at low...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $378,264 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study and compare the induced magnetospheres and ion escape at Venus and Mars. This work utilizes publicly available data from NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and the European Space Agency's (ESA) Planetary Science Archive (PSA) and aligns with NASA's Solar System Working (SSW) program. The grant, awarded on May 1, 2020, is a civilian contract without any set-aside...
