This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant of $180,225 awarded to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is funding the deployment and operations of the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HAMSCI) Personal Space Weather Station Network. This distributed array of 30 standardized space weather monitoring stations and 10 GPS-disciplined amateur radio transmitters will enable researchers to study ionospheric impacts of solar phenomena, geomagnetic storms, and other space weather effects. The project leverages collaboration between the professional scientific and amateur radio communities to develop open technologies and observational capabilities that can be used in conjunction with existing geospace infrastructure and educational initiatives. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028.
