This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for the Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) launch and operations program. The $1,214,750.49 grant will fund a space mission to precisely measure the energy spectra of individual nuclei in cosmic rays ranging from protons to iron in the energy range of 1 trillion to 100 trillion electron volts. This data will help address fundamental science questions about the...
This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) under the Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) Launch and Operations program. The $647,787 grant will support Penn State's activities on the BACCUS high-altitude balloon experiment in Antarctica and the CREAM mission to the International Space Station. These projects aim to measure cosmic ray elemental spectra up to the petaelectronvolt range and cosmic ray electron spectra...
This is a $15,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The University Of Kentucky Research Foundation (the Research Foundation) to conduct research on "XMM-NEWTON OBSERVATION OF THE SMALLEST GALAXY CLUSTER HOSTING A RADIO RELIC." The award, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, is part of a larger NASA program supporting innovative space science research. The Research Foundation, a non-profit subsidiary of the University...
This is a $228,855.95 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Northern Kentucky University Research Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope Experiment) project. HELIX will utilize a high-precision magnet spectrometer to provide measurements of cosmic-ray particles that are not achievable by any current or proposed instrument. The project will combine a superconducting magnet with state-of-the-art detectors to...
This federal contract award is a grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, a non-profit organization and 1862 land grant college, to study a probe-scale mission to extract information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The study will examine the potential to search for signatures of primordial gravitational waves, constrain the number of light particle species, measure the sum of neutrino masses, probe dark matter, and provide...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $423,841.00 grant for research to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to develop a miniaturized electron telescope called the Medium Energy Electron Telescope (MEET) to fit into a 1U (10x10x10 cm3) CubeSat. The purpose is to measure 30-400 keV electrons in the inner radiation belt. This grant-funded research project has a period of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $37,500 grant to The George Washington University Student Accounts Office / Third Party Division. The grant, numbered 20-NICER20-0001, will fund NICER TOO Observations of Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS) Sources. The work will be performed in Washington, DC over a period of approximately two years, from February 2022 through August 2024. As part of NASA's broader astrophysics programs, this grant supports...
This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research related to nonthermal processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) and intracluster medium (ICM). The $404,704 grant will fund UCSB's work to study the role of cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and turbulence in physical processes in these multiphase plasmas. Key areas of research include cosmic ray heating, re-acceleration of cosmic ray electrons, Lyman-alpha scattering in turbulent media, and...
This is a $692,479 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to conduct research on the magnetic structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The grant, which has a performance period through March 31, 2025, will support a comprehensive data analysis study incorporating in-situ measurements of magnetic fields and plasma as well as remote observations. UNH, a non-profit...
This is a $510,797.08 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Kent State University to investigate the structure and dynamics of monodisperse liquid crystal domains created on suspended, molecularly-thin smectic liquid crystal films. The research aims to study two-dimensional colloidal phenomena in these systems, including island-island interactions, self-assembly, and non-equilibrium behaviors like domain coalescence and Lehmann rotations. The project will...
