About this award
Southwest Research Institute, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, was awarded a $2.18M grant on July 1, 2021, to develop a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) prototype diagnostic chemistry tool suitable for mission-specific, multi-platform investigations. The contract, which is not set aside and carries a completion deadline of December 31, 2026, represents a research grant from a civilian federal agency supporting advanced scientific instrumentation development. SwRI's multidisciplinary capabilities in engineering and physical sciences make it well-suited for this advanced technology development effort, consistent with the institute's track record of delivering specialized technical solutions and prototype development across aerospace, defense, and scientific exploration domains.
The quadrupole mass spectrometer developed under this contract will serve as a diagnostic instrument for analyzing chemical composition across various mission platforms, reflecting federal investment in fundamental scientific research tools. SwRI's extensive experience in developing advanced sensor technologies and supporting space science initiatives through grants from agencies like NASA positions the organization to successfully translate the prototype into a versatile analytical tool applicable to government and commercial applications requiring precise chemical analysis capabilities.
