- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $398,692.95 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct laboratory research supporting the agency's Mars Express (MEX), Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), and Venus Express (VEX) missions. The research will utilize the MAVEN Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) engineering model to study the response of the Martian and Venusian upper atmospheres to variations in solar radiation. Key objectives...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to support the Akatsuki mission to Venus. The mission payload consists of four imaging cameras, an ultrastable oscillator for atmospheric profiling, and a photodetector for lightning and airglow characterization. The $651,127 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from June 1,...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the fundamental physical constants of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The grant, valued at $238,712.16, aims to measure electron-impact-induced emission cross sections for these gases to support data analysis of observations from the SPICAM and IUVS instruments on the Mars Express and MAVEN missions. This grant does not...
- This is a $479,712.43 grant 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. The grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple...
- This is a $458,147 grant contract awarded by a civilian U.S. government agency to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research on clouds in the upper atmosphere of Venus induced by small body encounters. The contract is not associated with a set-aside designation. CU is a prominent public research university in Boulder, Colorado, with a robust portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across multiple scientific and technological domains. The university has demonstrated...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, supports a program of combined observational and theoretical work in support of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Venus Climate Orbiter Akatsuki mission. The $535,925.17 grant will fund the University's development of a microphysical model of the Venusian atmosphere to aid in the analysis of cloud structure and evolution data...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $431,596.55 grant to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the interaction between the solar wind and the atmosphere of Venus. The research aims to simulate this interaction with high fidelity in order to better understand features such as the super-rotation of Venus' upper atmosphere and plasma phenomena like the plasma tail...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $606,496.77 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate the distribution of thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere of Venus and hot oxygen in the Venus corona. This research will utilize the University of Michigan's Venus Thermosphere General Circulation Model (VTGCM) and a three-dimensional rarefied gas-kinetic model called V-AMPS, which is based on the Mars Adaptive Mesh Simulator (M-AMPS). The...
