The University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $299,673 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. This EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) award supports research investigating how solar energetic particles (SEPs) penetrate Earth's magnetic environment and affect the high-latitude upper atmosphere, with particular focus on the role of energetic electrons in polar cap absorption events. The project leverages data from the REPTILE-2 instrument, which operated aboard a NASA CubeSat in highly inclined low-Earth orbit from April 2023 to October 2024, recording measurements from over 12 SEP events. The deliverables include scientific analysis of satellite and ground-based observations to establish an analytical framework for understanding sun-Earth interactions and space weather effects on the near-Earth space environment. Key products include publicly available data sets and analysis tools to support community research, findings that will inform an upcoming NSF-supported instrument deployed on an interplanetary asteroid belt mission, and graduate student training in space physics data analysis and multi-platform observations. The research directly addresses national security, aviation safety, and emergency response communications by improving understanding of how space weather disrupts high-frequency radio communications.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
