Summary (Newest Update)

Background NASA/NSSC has a requirement for Multi-Platform Investigation of Cross-Scale Energy Transfer. The contract will be issued to HEXAF INNOVATIONS LLC, which has been determined to be the sole provider for this requirement. NASA/NSSC will serve as the procuring center, with performance taking place at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The goal of this contract is to support the Links multi-scale geospace mission, which is a high priority identified by the last Heliophysics Decadal Survey. Work Details The contractor shall perform the following tasks: - Identify candidate substorm events (space weather activity) that contain THEMIS and MMS alignment, ensuring good ground-based observational coverage. - Utilize additional data from missions such as ELFIN, POES/MetOp, Swarm, etc. - Produce studies on current sheet formation and disruption in the near-Earth magnetotail using MMS and THEMIS in situ observations, aiming to calculate reconnection rates relative to other observables and small-scale energy conversion signatures for comparison with macro- and meso-scale phenomena. - Investigate magnetotail activity concerning near-Earth particle injections, ionospheric particle precipitation, and other ionospheric responses. - Develop an AI-ML-assisted event workflow to facilitate event organization and feature extraction across different datasets, with an expected delivery of a prototype workflow that enhances Links-relevant data analysis and planning. Period of Performance 8/1/26 – 7/31/27 Place of Performance NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Bidder Requirements No specific bidder requirements are mentioned in the solicitation.
