- This $178,368 research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a CubeSat mission called PetitSat, which will provide in-situ measurements of the plasma density, 3D ion drift, and ion and neutral composition in the mid- and low-latitude ionosphere. The goal is to investigate the link between plasma density enhancements and medium-scale traveling...
- This is a $127,556.30 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for a research project titled "QUANTIFYING GLOBAL MASS AND ENERGY TRANSFER RATES FROM SOLAR WIND TO MAGNETOSPHERE BY MAGNETOPAUSE RECONNECTION". The contract has an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2025 and is not designated as a set-aside. As a prime contractor, Boston University has...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $278,085.00 grant to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on understanding the role of kinetic ballooning instability in triggering substorm onset. The research aims to reveal fundamental physical processes of substorm onset, which is critical for magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and magnetotail plasma physics. The principal investigator, Dr. Yukitoshi Nishimura, relocated from the...
- This is a $651,975 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for research to investigate the process by which particles are energized and transported within the heliosphere, which is a major outstanding question in the field of heliophysics. The grant has an award date of August 19, 2020 and an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025. This grant does not have a...

- This $135,711.86 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is to study the impact of the plasmaspheric plume, a feature of the Earth's magnetosphere, on magnetic reconnection and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. The research aims to quantify how the high-density plasmaspheric plume affects the rate of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, which can significantly...
- This is a $486,855 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The purpose of the grant is to test several models that predict the location of magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause, the boundary between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. The work will involve comparing the model predictions against in-situ data to gain insight into the global processes...
- This $528,019 federal grant award to the Trustees of Boston University, a private non-profit educational institution, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the spatial scales of two types of magnetospheric waves, including chorus and EMIC waves, and evaluate their resulting particle precipitations. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2024, does not have a set-aside designation. As a comprehensive research university,...
