About this award
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $10.27 million cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on January 5, 2022, with a completion date of January 4, 2027. The research initiative aims to advance understanding of the Moon's thermal history, vertical differentiation, and geographical variability by measuring heat flow and subsurface electrical conductivity structure at Schrodinger Basin. Electrical conductivity measurements are sensitive to both temperature and composition, providing critical data that will constrain lunar geological models. The work will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility, and no set-aside designation applies to this award.
This cooperative agreement reflects SwRI's established role as a leading research organization in planetary science, with the organization maintaining an extensive portfolio of federal grant awards through NASA's Science Mission Directorate and other civilian agencies. The award aligns with NASA's lunar exploration priorities and contributes to the broader scientific understanding necessary for sustained human and robotic exploration of the Moon. SwRI's multi-disciplinary research capabilities and experience executing complex space science investigations position the organization to deliver the geophysical measurements and analysis required to achieve the project's fundamental scientific objectives.
