This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to recover, clean, document, and archive ionospheric profiles acquired by the Viking Orbiter radio occultation investigation. The objective is to make these valuable historical data publicly available through the Planetary Data System (PDS). The grant has a ceiling value of $110,844 and a period of performance through March 31, 2020. This effort aligns...
The Trustees of Boston University have been awarded a $205,690 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research titled "Solar Wind Interaction with Venus: From the Planetary Interior to Interplanetary Space." The research will be performed over a two-year period from September 2023 through September 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. No subcontractors or set-aside designations were indicated. The grant supports NASA's efforts to...
This is a $89,563.17 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to characterize the effect of solar cycle variations on the ionospheres of Venus and Mars. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2019 and has an ultimate completion date of January 25, 2023. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Boston University has a history of receiving federal contracts and grants from...
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 one-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley, in the amount of $100,992.24. The grant is for a pilot study to investigate the mass, momentum, and energy transfer between the solar wind and the Venusian upper atmosphere due to the solar wind interaction. The research aims to characterize the energy, momentum, and mass exchange between the solar wind and the Venusian neutral plasma...
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 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...
This $150,000.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study "Meteor Airbursts on Venus: Geological Consequences and Implications for Resurfacing History." The grant will support research on the geological effects of meteor airbursts on the surface of Venus and their implications for the planet's resurfacing history. ASU, a public research university in Tempe, Arizona, is the prime recipient of this research...
