This is a $510,367.55 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to study the interaction of the Sun with the solar system and the interstellar medium. The grant supports the objectives of the Voyager mission, which aims to explore the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence and beyond. The work addresses two key goals from the Heliophysics Decadal Survey - determining the interaction of the Sun with...

This is a $375,000 Firm Fixed Price definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Burlaga Leonard F, a for-profit organization located in Davidsonville, Maryland. The contract is for the delivery of fully calibrated Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 48-second magnetic field data products, including data processing and analysis, to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Voyager Magnetometer Team and the GSFC Space Physics Data Facility. There was no...

This is a Definitive Contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Burlaga Leonard F, a for-profit organization based in Davidsonville, Maryland. The $63,920.00 firm-fixed-price contract is for data processing and analysis services related to the magnetic field data from the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, with the goal of validating the measurements from the spacecraft as they traverse the outer heliosheath environment. The contract has an ultimate...

The Aerospace Corporation was awarded a $72,790 research grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center, with performance completed in El Segundo, California by January 6, 2025. This grant supports archival and analysis work related to the Voyager 2 spacecraft's Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS) measurements from its 1989 Neptune flyby. Voyager 2 remains the only spacecraft to have visited Neptune, and its CRS instrument collected the only in situ measurements of the planet's...

This is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee delivery order awarded by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL), a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center. The $3,416,000 contract supports VOYAGER 1 AND 2 LOW ENERGY PARTICLE (LECP) INSTRUMENT INVESTIGATIONS, including research, development, and engineering tasks that span NASA's mission directorates. The work falls under two broad categories: 1) Essential Research Capability of...

This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants. The $298,260 grant will fund an effort to re-analyze and archive data from the Voyager spacecraft's Plasma Science (PLS) instrument, which measured ions and electrons during the Voyager missions' encounters with the giant planets from 1979 to 1989. The key objectives are to archive the complete magnetospheric data sets from Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune,...

This federal contract award is for a new task order under the Aerospace Research Development and Engineering Support (ARDES) contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center. The task order is valued at $1,656,000.00 and was awarded to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL), a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center. The contract requires APL to provide labor, equipment, materials, and facilities to...

This is a research contract awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the radial dependence of magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind. The $119,998.63 contract will leverage data from the MAVEN mission's cruise phase to provide new insights on the flow of energy from the Sun and the physical processes that determine magnetic signatures in the solar wind. This research directly supports NASA's Heliophysics goal of exploring physical processes in the space...

This is a three-year, $463,046.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the impact of solar wind structures on the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to improve understanding of magnetic reconnection processes at the dayside magnetopause and will leverage global magnetohydrodynamic and large-scale kinetic simulations, along with spacecraft observations from missions like Cluster,...

This is a $395,731.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on energy transport and conversion processes at the interface of the plasma sheet and inner magnetosphere. The research aims to understand the nature of the energy transport process that supports the driving of large amplitude kinetic scale electromagnetic oscillations observed in this region and identify the processes...
