About this award
The U.S. government awarded a $550,876 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on June 1, 2024, for a quantitative assessment on spectral darkening of icy regions across Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons. The grant, issued by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center under contract number 23-NFDAP23_2-0001, carries an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2027, and involves no set-aside designation. SwRI will perform the work at its San Antonio, Texas headquarters, leveraging its extensive expertise in planetary science research and space exploration investigations.
This award reflects SwRI's prominent role as a grantee within NASA's Science Mission Directorate and related civilian space agencies, supporting scientific investigations into planetary bodies and their composition. The spectral darkening assessment contributes to ongoing planetary science efforts to understand the geological and compositional characteristics of icy moons, which hold significance for heliophysics research and broader space exploration objectives. SwRI's selection for this work underscores the organization's competitive standing in full and open federal competition and its established track record delivering multi-million dollar research programs for civilian space agencies.
