About this award
The U.S. government awarded a $365,963 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 7, 2021, to investigate the effects of sub-catastrophic impacts on asteroid morphology. The project, scheduled for completion by October 6, 2026, will employ computational modeling combining impact simulations with gravitational reaccumulation analyses to examine how asteroids in the main belt respond to the wide range of impact events they experience. The work will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility. This award was made through a civilian federal agency and represents the type of fundamental planetary science research that SwRI regularly conducts in support of government space exploration and scientific objectives.
The grant carries no set-aside designation, allowing SwRI to compete in full and open competition based on its technical qualifications. As a nonprofit research and development organization with over 2,700 staff members, SwRI regularly receives funding from agencies including NASA for advanced scientific research spanning planetary exploration, heliophysics, and related domains. The institute's extensive experience in aerospace and space science research, combined with its multidisciplinary technical capabilities, positions it to deliver high-quality computational and analytical work supporting the government's understanding of asteroid dynamics and planetary formation processes.
Description
We intend to examine the effects of sub-catastrophic impacts on the shape of the target body through a combination of impact and gravitational reaccumulation simulations. In the wide range of impacts possibly experienced by asteroids in the main belt
