About this award
This federal contract, awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), supports fundamental research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, which is a central theme in NASA's strategic goals and the Emerging Worlds program. The $489,729.98 grant will fund theoretical investigations into the planetesimal accretion processes, early dynamical evolution of planetesimals, and planetary migration/instability in the outer solar system. As a prominent federal contractor, SwRI has a strong track record of securing prime and subcontract awards across various government agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This award is not set aside and demonstrates SwRI's capability to compete in full and open competitions.
Description
The proposed research is fundamental to understanding the formation and early evolution of the solar system. This is a central theme of NASA's strategic goals and the emerging worlds program. Specifically, the NRA for the emerging worlds program states that the program ``aims to answer the fundamental science question of how the solar system formed and evolved'', and that the program objectives include ``formation, accretion, and evolution of solar system bodies'' and ``early dynamical evolution of the solar system''. Here we propose theoretical investigations of the formation and early dynamical evolution of the outer solar system. This includes the planetesimal accretion processes, early dynamical evolution of planetesimals, and planetary migration/instability. These themes are directly relevant to the NASA strategic goals and research objectives, and to the emerging worlds program in particular.
