This is a $131,198.51 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) on September 1, 2018. The goal of the project is to use new in-situ measurements of neutral winds in the Martian thermosphere from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft to improve the Mars Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (M-GITM) by incorporating better representations of gravity waves and time-dependent dust. The research aims to determine the key physical processes driving thermospheric winds on Mars. This work directly supports one of the main goals of the MAVEN mission to understand the Martian upper atmosphere and its controlling processes. There was no set-aside designation for this contract. The University of Michigan is a prominent public research institution that has extensive experience conducting research and providing services to federal agencies like the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health through both prime and subcontract awards.
