- 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...
- This is a $49,966.57 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center 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 project titled "Seasonal Variation of Deuterium Ions and Non-Thermal Deuterium Escape at Mars" with student Eryn Cangi. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023 and was granted on September 1, 2022 with no set-aside designation. The...
- 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...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,458.42 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant, titled "ION CYCLOTRON WAVES AND PLASMA SOURCES AND TRANSPORT IN JUPITER'S MAGNETOSPHERE," is for fundamental research related to the study of Jupiter's magnetosphere. As a premier public research university, the University of Colorado...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $614,573.66 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the importance of including low-frequency hiss, exohiss, and plasmapause-organized hiss in predictive modeling of electron dynamics in the inner magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify the impact of these "missing" aspects of hiss physics...
- 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...
- 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...
- This is a research 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 $906,946.01 grant, awarded on September 12, 2017, is for investigating the effects of stochastic (diffusive) transport processes versus coherent interactions of energetic particles with large-scale magnetospheric disturbances. The research aims to expand scientific...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000.00 grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, for research on "INVESTIGATIONS OF PARTICLE ENERGIZATION DUE TO PLASMA TURBULENCE AND MAGNETIC RECONNECTION WITH THE MAGNETOSPHERIC.MULTISCALE MISSION". This grant, which is not designated as a set-aside, has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The University of Colorado is a prominent public...
- This federal grant award to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for research to study the impact of solar flares on the Mars upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and induced magnetosphere. The $410,485.26 grant, awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to address key science questions about how solar flare events affect the near-Mars space...
This is a $452,846.46 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to study plasma motion and electric fields in localized magnetic cusp regions on the night side of Mars. The grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which seeks to understand physical processes affecting planetary atmospheres, exospheres, and magnetospheres. The University of Colorado will use 3D hybrid and 1D particle-in-cell modeling techniques to address three key questions about how charged particles interact with and escape from the Martian magnetic cusps. This work is relevant to understanding atmospheric loss from Mars and cusp-related processes observed across the solar system. The grant has no set-aside designation and runs through February 2020.
