Remote Sensing of the Ionosphere, Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

The Ionosphere, Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (iMLT) region is notoriously difficult to measure because it is too high for balloon flight and two low for sustained space flight. For this reason, the iMLT is often referred to as the “ignorosphere”. The Ionospheric Impacts section at the AFRL Space Vehicles Directorate is charged with providing expertise on and trying to find solutions / mitigation techniques for ionospheric phenomena that impact Department of Defense (DoD) systems. The development of new remote sensing techniq...

Grantor Contact InformationKenneth Steven Obenberger, Phone: 505-853-1133Grantor Emailkenneth.obenberger.1@spaceforce.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
