About this award
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $984,906 grant by the Shared Services Center for research on suprathermal and energetic particle studies utilizing the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft. The contract, executed on April 18, 2023, is a non-set-aside research grant with an ultimate completion date of April 17, 2028, and will be performed at SwRI's headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. This grant supports fundamental scientific research in heliophysics, contributing to NASA's broader mission to understand solar wind composition, particle acceleration mechanisms, and energetic phenomena relevant to space weather and planetary exploration.
The award reflects SwRI's established capabilities in space science research and its extensive track record securing grants from NASA's Science Mission Directorate. As a prominent nonprofit research organization with over 2,700 staff members, SwRI brings multidisciplinary expertise in scientific investigation and advanced instrumentation to support long-duration space missions. The five-year performance period enables sustained research efforts necessary for analyzing data from the ACE mission and advancing understanding of particle physics in the heliosphere, a critical component of NASA's heliophysics science portfolio.
