- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $660,970 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 1, 2024, for a study investigating whether fresh dust deposition increases recurring slope lineae activity on Mars. The grant, which extends through September 30, 2027, represents fundamental scientific research aligned with NASA's planetary science objectives. SwRI, a prominent San Antonio-based nonprofit research organization with over 2,700 staff...
- This is a $242,880 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a 3-year study on "Seasonal Processes on Martian Dune Fields and Their Variability Across a Southern Latitudinal Gradient", which aligns with NASA's space science and planetary exploration programs. The award has no set-aside designation, indicating SwRI competed effectively in...
- This is a $1,808.98 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization. The award is for a "Multidisciplinary Assessment of Recurring Slope Lineae and Slope Streak Generation by Dry Grain Flow on Mars" and has a period of performance through July 11, 2024. SwRI has a history of supporting NASA and other federal agencies with a range of research and technical services, including space...
- This is a $363,952 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a research project titled "Constraints on Hydrological Climates on Ancient Mars from Formation and Persistence of Crater Paleolakes," which is focused on studying the formation and evolution of ancient crater lakes on Mars. The grant has a...
- This is a $407,487 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent non-profit research and development organization. The grant is for SwRI to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. Key focus areas include scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
- This is a $359,766.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization, to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of near-surface ice on Mars. The research aims to determine the model formation ages of layered and radial ejecta craters, analyze erosion rates, and identify spatial-temporal correlations to better understand the evolution of Mars'...
- This is a $546,882.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a research project titled "QUANTIFYING LANDSLIDE TRIGGERING THRESHOLDS WITH TIME-SERIES REMOTE SENSING DATA AND PHYSICS-BASED MODELING". The award has no set-aside designation and is for basic research to be completed by April 30,...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $557,226.87 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on April 15, 2020, to investigate the conditions and locations on Mars where deliquescence—the process by which solid salts absorb moisture and dissolve into liquid—could occur on both the surface and subsurface. The research objective aims to determine the likely geographical locations, seasonal patterns, and times of day when such deliquescence events may take...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $411,741 grant by a civilian federal agency on May 21, 2024, to process nearly nine Mars years of global color imaging data collected by the Mars Color Imager (MARCI) instrument for the planetary science community. The grant, designated 23-PDART23-0010, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of SwRI's...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization. The purpose of the $161,443 grant is to conduct research and analysis on Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) - narrow, seasonal features on Mars that may be caused by flowing liquid water. The research aims to provide quantitative data on the water budgets of multiple RSL sites to better understand their...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The $107,261.88 grant is for a Mars data analysis project to investigate the environmental controls on the seasonal formation of downslope flows emanating from dark dune spots in the mid-latitudes of Mars' southern hemisphere. The analysis is expected to reveal interactions between seasonal insolation, sand/dust, and condensed volatiles that may produce phase transitions and trigger gravitational mass wasting on Martian sand dune slipfaces. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program and was awarded on September 27, 2019, with a completion date of January 14, 2021. SwRI has previously conducted research and analysis work for NASA, the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and other federal agencies.
