This federal contract award, valued at $3,070,308.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization. The purpose of the contract is to advance a prototype instrument from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 to TRL 6, enabling the identification and quantification of compounds of astrobiological significance in planetary gases and liquids, such as icy moon ocean water and the organic lakes of Titan. The instrument is designed for potential use on a Europa lander mission. The work plan includes the production of a medium-fidelity TRL-5 brassboard and a high-fidelity TRL-6 prototype, which will be tested under simulated operational conditions. This contract is not set-aside and is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate research initiatives.
