- This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AJ68G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a U.S. government entity and educational institution, to conduct research on the unique aspects of Mercury's magnetosphere. The $308,936.16 grant will allow the University of Michigan to measure, model, and simulate the substorm-like tail lobe loading/unloading properties, plasmoid and post-plasmoid plasma sheet properties,...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, valued at $371,205.31. The grant is focused on studying the impact of solar wind conditions on Mercury's magnetosphere and global plasma precipitation. Key research objectives include understanding how Mercury's magnetosphere responds to different types of solar wind conditions, the internal dynamics of the magnetosphere, and the predicted sputtering rate for these...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $530,400 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) to conduct in-depth studies on magnetopause reconnection, flux transfer events, and region-1 field-aligned currents at Mercury using the full dataset from the MESSENGER mission. The research aims to understand the nature of magnetopause reconnection at Mercury, how solar wind conditions affect reconnection rate and related...
- This is a $457,294 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the processes of solar wind entry, precipitation onto the surface, and generation of planetary ions in Mercury's northern cusp. The research objectives include studying the geometry of magnetopause reconnection, analyzing the behavior of three planetary ion species in the cusp, and analyzing the precipitating flux in proton...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $125,576.23 training grant contract to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on magnetic reconnection processes in Mercury's magnetosphere. The contract, which runs from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2020, aims to expand upon initial studies of Mercury's magnetosphere using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft and MHD-kinetic modeling. The objective is to determine the relationship between magnetic...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan has been awarded a $150,000 research grant to conduct coupled fluid-kinetic simulations of Mercury's dynamic nightside magnetosphere. The award, announced on September 1, 2024, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and represents a competitive, non-set-aside grant from a civilian federal agency. The research will be performed at the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus through the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division. This...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AH28G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a U.S. state government educational institution. The $317,777 grant is for a comparative investigation of the coupled plasma-magnetosphere-interior interactions at Mercury and Ganymede, the innermost planet and largest moon, respectively. The research aims to understand the feedback between the interiors and magnetospheres of these...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the amount of $861,605.00 was granted to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the impact of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) on the Mars upper atmosphere and ionosphere. The aim is to develop coupled global models that can simulate the two-way interaction between the solar wind and the Mars atmosphere, and contrast the responses of Earth and Mars to the same ICME events. This...
