- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $725,762 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, doing business as the University of Michigan, to develop a magnetic data-driven global model to simulate the time-dependent state of the inner heliosphere from the top of the chromosphere to 1 Astronomical Unit (AU). The model will use the AWSOM-R global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model developed at the University of Michigan to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $9,290,762.00, was granted to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is for the development, testing, and validation of a self-contained, modular framework to improve the forecasting of solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The framework will incorporate various elements...
- This is a $99,939 Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit small business. The contract aims to significantly improve and extend the Solar Particle Event (SPE) Threat Assessment Tool (STAT) by enhancing its robustness for event simulation and modeling to characterize the likely behavior of future solar particle events. These events pose major radiation...
- This is a Small Business set-aside contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to CFD Research Corporation, a small business based in Huntsville, Alabama. The contract is focused on developing a comprehensive forecasting capability - SPE4 - to monitor and predict the effects of high-energy space radiation from solar particle events (SPEs) on space systems and astronaut health. The $749,933 firm-fixed-price contract is part of the Small Business Technology...
- This is a $135,440.79 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, a U.S. state government educational institution. The contract is for a study of the precursors of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are solar plasma eruptions that can disrupt Earth's geomagnetic field. The study will utilize 3D magnetohydrodynamics simulations and spectroscopic analysis to investigate the initiation and early evolution of...
- This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Space Environment Technologies, LLC, a small business, for $149,998.00. The contract is for research and development to improve forecasting of operational solar and geomagnetic indices, which are critical for monitoring and predicting space weather conditions that impact space operations. Space Environment Technologies has prior experience conducting space...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as the University of Michigan), was awarded a $160,401.17 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to understanding the global distribution and dynamics of electric and magnetic fields in the magnetosphere and ionosphere during extreme space weather events. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of how energetic electrons and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,132.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to provide the science community through the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) with functional capability to simulate solar energetic particle (SEP) events both for historical events (runs-on-request) and in real time, using the space weather modeling. This research and development grant has an end date of October 31, 2022 and did...
- This is a $763,170 grant awarded to the Regents of the University of Michigan by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to characterize the radiation environment due to solar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays, and the variability of this environment affected by the sun. The two principal science objectives are to quantify the relationship between extreme solar energetic particle events and Forbush decreases, and the anisotropy of the galactic cosmic rays observed...
- This is a STTR Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated (doing business as Predictive Science Inc.), a small business. The $124,959.00 firm fixed-price contract is for the development of a Solar Particle Event Threat Assessment Tool (STAT) to aid forecasters in predicting solar particle events and identifying periods of low probability for such events. The STAT system will leverage recent advancements in physics-based...
This is a $124,934 fixed-price STTR Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Aerospace Corporation (MAC), a small business, to improve forecasts of solar particle events (SPEs) that pose radiation risks to space operations. MAC will partner with the University of Michigan's Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Science to 1) use data-driven statistical models to forecast the likelihood of solar eruptions, and 2) couple these predictions with eruption generation models in the Space Weather Modeling Framework to forecast the time, location, flux, and energy spectrum of SPEs. The contract includes a subcontract to the University of Michigan to install the eruptive event generator and interface to the AWSOM code at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center at NASA Goddard. This STTR project aims to enhance SPE forecasting capabilities to mitigate risks to human and robotic space missions beyond low-Earth orbit.
