- This is a $251,791.14 grant award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to analyze data from the Cassini mission and investigate mysteries surrounding energetic ions in Saturn's magnetosphere. The goal is to better understand the interactions between energetic particles and Saturn's neutral gas distribution. This aligns with NASA's objectives of enhancing scientific analysis of Cassini data to advance planetary science. The award does...
- This is a $367,678.16 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for the JUPITER S GLOBAL MAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT AND RADIATION OBSERVATORY, OR JUGGERNOT, mission. The goal of this cross-disciplinary mission is to explore the fundamental processes of the Jovian magnetosphere and radiation environment. This grant does not utilize a set-aside designation. The Johns Hopkins University is the prime contractor and will be responsible for executing...
- This is a $305,251 federal grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on June 1, 2019. The grant supports research to characterize the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere and ring system using data from the Cassini-Huygens mission's Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer. The proposed work will involve a detailed mass spectrometry analysis to quantify the abundances of major and minor atmospheric constituents, as well as...
- The Johns Hopkins University received a $149,316 research grant award from the Shared Services Center on September 1, 2022, for a project titled "Dynamics of Ice Giant Magnetic Fields" under the supervision of student researcher Mayuri Sadhasivan. This grant-funded research project is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and will be conducted at the university's Baltimore, Maryland campus. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting open competition based on...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $500,941 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to investigate the source of nitrogen in Saturn's magnetosphere and resolve questions regarding the Titan neutral torus. The award, issued on February 1, 2024, carries an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027, and represents a full and open competition with no small business set-aside designation. Work will be performed in Baltimore, Maryland,...
- This is a $415,871.15 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a NASA center) to conduct research on the plasma convection in the distant plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to investigate the statistical characteristics, solar wind-driven responses, and ionospheric manifestations of the magnetic flux transport in this region using data from the ARTEMIS and THEMIS spacecraft missions. As a non-set-aside grant...
This is a $388,197.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) for research to understand the differences between the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. The research aims to quantify the interactions, source locations, and strengths that lead to Jupiter's magnetosphere being plasma-dominated while Saturn's is neutral particle-dominated. JHU will use its validated 3D Monte Carlo neutral particle model coupled with a plasma transport model to simulate and analyze the two giant planet magnetospheres. This research is relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings (SSW) program, which seeks to understand fundamental processes across the solar system. The grant has no set-aside designation and runs from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2022.
