This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research on the dynamics of waves generated in the multi-scale boundary layers of magnetic reconnection. The $520,528.06 grant will fund SwRI's investigation into whether and how waves influence the magnetic reconnection process, as well as how wave observations can reconstruct the reconnection geometry and evolution. SwRI will use a combination of...
This is a $106,467 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for a research project titled "CROSS-SCALE ASYMMETRIC MAGNETIC RECONNECTION OBSERVATIONS AT THE DAYSIDE MAGNETOPAUSE". The project is focused on studying magnetic reconnection processes at the boundary between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. SwRI, a non-profit research and development organization, will conduct this scientific research...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is valued at $569,192.40 and is focused on using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to study the fundamental physical processes associated with collisionless shocks, specifically how they heat and accelerate plasma in the Earth's bow...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0848, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The $97,107.56 grant is for a research project titled "Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)" to investigate the dynamics of the electron diffusion region that enables magnetic reconnection. This grant is not set aside for any specific business category. SwRI is an...
