The project will increase the visibility and status of Australian research, by the participation of researchers and students in a wide international collaboration, covering experiments, theory, and computation, which will solve a fundamental research problem that has previously defied understanding. The resulting nitrogen model will be relevant to the important fields of global and planetary atmospheric change, and will find immediate application in the analysis of results from the NASA missions, Voyager, Cassini, and (later) New Horizons. In the experimental part of the project, an Australian-first extreme-ultraviolet laser facility will be developed which will provide research opportunities complementary to the Australian Synchrotron.

该项目将通过研究人员和学生参与广泛的国际合作来提高澳大利亚研究的知名度和地位，包括实验，理论和计算，这将解决以前无法理解的基础研究问题。由此产生的氮模型将与全球和行星大气变化的重要领域相关，并将立即应用于分析NASA任务，旅行者号，卡西尼号和（后来的）新视野号的结果。在该项目的实验部分，将开发一个澳大利亚第一个极紫外激光设施，这将为澳大利亚同步加速器提供补充研究机会。
