- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research on the dynamics of waves generated in the multi-scale boundary layers of magnetic reconnection. The $520,528.06 grant will fund SwRI's investigation into whether and how waves influence the magnetic reconnection process, as well as how wave observations can reconstruct the reconnection geometry and evolution. SwRI will use a combination of...
- This is a $1,416,460.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is to provide CO-I (Co-Investigator) support for the WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Solar Probe) mission. SwRI, which specializes in advanced technology development across various fields, has a strong track...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80MSFC20C0024, was issued by the Marshall Space Flight Center, a civilian agency of the U.S. government, to the prime contractor Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). The $4,996,207.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is for the management of the definition phase effort, monitoring and control of technical performance and cost metrics for the Lunar Magnetotelluric Sounder (LMS) project. The award does not utilize a set-aside designation. The prime contractor,...
- This is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract awarded by the Goddard Space Center, a civilian agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the Solar Orbiter Measurement Investigation "Heavy Ion Sensor" project. SwRI will be responsible for the full life-cycle management, design, testing, development, operations, data reduction, and archiving of the Heavy Ion Sensor Time of Flight (HIS-TOF) solid state detector. The contract has a ceiling value of $63,385,698.00 and a completion date...
This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Instrument Suite Science Team (ISST). Under this $391,932,243 contract, SwRI will serve as the principal investigator (PI) institution for the MMS ISST, leading the Solving Magnetospheric Acceleration Reconnection and Turbulence (SMART) team through all mission phases. Key responsibilities include managing the SMART team, defining science goals and objectives, assisting with requirements development, delivering four flight instrument suites, designing and operating the Science Operations Center, and providing on-orbit support. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting SwRI's broad technical capabilities across government research and engineering domains.
