- This is a $479,712.43 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 grant is for a three-year research project to study the mechanisms of hydrogen loss from the atmospheres of Venus and Mars, with the goal of improving understanding of how water has been depleted from these planets over solar system history. The research will couple...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to study the fundamental physical constants of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases in the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The grant, valued at $238,712.16, aims to measure electron-impact-induced emission cross sections for these gases to support data analysis of observations from the SPICAM and IUVS instruments on the Mars Express and MAVEN missions. This grant does not...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $398,692.95 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct laboratory research supporting the agency's Mars Express (MEX), Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), and Venus Express (VEX) missions. The research will utilize the MAVEN Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) engineering model to study the response of the Martian and Venusian upper atmospheres to variations in solar radiation. Key objectives...
- This federal grant award to the University of Colorado (CU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is focused on advancing the understanding of cloud dynamics and radiative balance in the Venus atmosphere. The $207,351.91 grant will support a series of microphysical cloud simulations using the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) to characterize the properties of Venus' clouds and their potential impact on the planet's atmospheric super-rotation...
- 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...
- 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 federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is a $276,335.95 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on high-temperature molecular spectroscopy. The goal is to make accurate laboratory measurements of the absorption spectra of water vapor and methane at temperatures up to 1,300 Kelvin, which will support the characterization of exoplanet...
- This is a $609,166 grant awarded to the Regents of the University of Colorado by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, for a research project titled "Understanding Venus Water Evolution via Photochemical Modeling of Nonthermal Hydrogen and Deuterium Escape to Space". The grant has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026 and is not associated with any set-aside designation. The University of Colorado is a prominent public research institution that frequently...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $275,868.00 grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to recover, clean, document, and package ionospheric and atmospheric profiles acquired by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) radio occultation investigation. This effort is aligned with the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools (PDART) program's call for proposals to restore and archive important planetary datasets. The...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to support the Akatsuki mission to Venus. The mission payload consists of four imaging cameras, an ultrastable oscillator for atmospheric profiling, and a photodetector for lightning and airglow characterization. The $651,127 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from June 1,...
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 conditions. This will enable the development of an improved absorption model to enhance radiative transfer models for the Venus atmosphere, furthering the understanding of the planet's chemical and physical processes. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, will be completed by August 31, 2021.
