- This is a $503,041 federal grant awarded to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization, by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency. The grant is for research to build global and high-resolution regional crater databases for the Ceres mission. SwRI has extensive experience as a federal contractor and grantee, providing technical solutions and advanced scientific research across multiple government agencies, including NASA, the...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $310,026, is for research related to the Dawn mission's observations of dwarf planet Ceres, specifically the characterization of perennially shadowed regions and bright (ice) deposits. The work will involve computational ray-tracing based on available topographic models. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $475,804 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to characterize the spectral light-scattering properties of three geologically young features on the dwarf planet Ceres - Occator Crater, Ahuna Mons, and Haulani Crater. The goal is to better understand the cryovolcanic, cryomagmatic, and diapiric processes on Ceres, based on data from the Dawn mission....
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $117,286.00, is for theoretical modeling and research related to the dwarf planet Ceres. The research aims to investigate the geographic distribution and depth of water ice on Ceres' surface, as well as model its exosphere and its sources and sinks. This work is intended to aid in the...
- This is a $336,474.87 grant awarded to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "Near Infrared Spectra of Sizable Objects in the Kuiper Belt." The grant will fund a study to investigate the surface composition of dozens of large objects in the Kuiper Belt, including dwarf planets and moons, to better understand their origin and evolution. The proposed work involves obtaining near-infrared spectra of these...
- This is a $380,921 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for research related to the erasure of craters on multiple outer solar system satellites. The award has no set-aside designation and is intended to fund research into the various processes, such as cryovolcanism and tectonics, that contribute to the low crater density observed on many of these satellite surfaces. SwRI is an independent, nonprofit research and...
- The U.S. government awarded a $548,714 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) under contract 21-EW21-0033 for scientific investigation into planetesimal formation, evolution, and impacts. The award, issued on January 1, 2023, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, represents fundamental research support through a civilian federal agency. SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, will conduct this work at its San...
- This is a $419,348.30 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a study on the orbital dynamics of small bodies and their impacts in the solar system. SwRI has a long history of supporting NASA's space science initiatives through prime and subcontract awards. The grant is not set aside and is part of SwRI's broader portfolio of federal...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, to conduct a geologic mapping study of the dwarf planet Ceres. The study aims to characterize the distribution and timing of volatile- and ice-driven processes on the surface of Ceres, in order to address outstanding science questions about its internal evolution, impact record, and potential past (cryo)volcanic activity. The grant does...
- This is a $407,487 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent non-profit research and development organization. The grant is for SwRI to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. Key focus areas include scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
