About this award
The U.S. government awarded a $1.1M grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on September 1, 2024, to develop a Miniature Solar Wind Sensor (MSWIS) for future low-cost, constellation, and deep-space missions. This research grant, issued without set-aside designation, supports SwRI's work at its San Antonio, Texas facility and is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027. The funding originates from a civilian federal agency's shared services center. The project aligns with SwRI's extensive expertise in aerospace and space science research, areas in which the organization has demonstrated significant capabilities through numerous NASA grants and contracts focused on planetary exploration, heliophysics, and advanced sensor technology development.
SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization with over 2,700 staff members, is well-positioned to execute this contract given its established track record in developing innovative space-related technologies and sensors for government missions. The institute's multidisciplinary engineering and scientific capabilities, combined with its history of securing research grants from NASA's Science Mission Directorate and other federal agencies, provide a strong foundation for advancing miniaturized sensor technology applicable to future space constellation missions and deep-space exploration initiatives.
