This is a $481,501.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, for a project titled "Constraining the Structure, Evolution, and Dynamics of Titan's Atmospheric Boundary Layer." The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. SwRI is the prime contractor and there is no information provided about any subcontractors. The grant will fund research related to...
This is a research grant awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit applied research organization. The grant, valued at $120,580.83, will fund a study on the role of aerosols and cloud formation in Titan's atmosphere. The objectives are to: 1) measure the vapor pressure of benzene at Titan-relevant temperatures, 2) produce analogs of Titan's aerosols and study benzene condensation, 3) use experimental data to model cloud formation, and 4) compare results to...
This is a $467,881 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to explore three-dimensional microphysical processes in Titan's atmosphere. The grant will fund the coupling of the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) with the Titan Weather Research and Forecasting (TitanWRF) model to provide new insights on the role of dynamics versus microphysics in the appearance and composition of Titan's atmospheric particles. The...
This is a $142,431.95 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 part of NASA's Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientists Program (CDAPS) and is focused on improving the understanding of the geologic histories of three of Saturn's mid-sized moons: Mimas, Enceladus, and Iapetus. The grant will fund the expansion of impact crater...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $501,780 grant contract to Southwest Research Institute of San Antonio, Texas. The contract supports research to analyze imagery from the Cassini spacecraft documenting the surfaces of Saturn's moons, including Titan and Enceladus. Southwest Research Institute will leverage its expertise in planetary science to study images capturing terrain at scales finer than one kilometer per pixel and help advance NASA's goals of exploring and...
Southwest Research Institute has been awarded a $402,847 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to deliver stratospheric ices to Titan's surface through methane rain and study their effects on surface albedo changes. The contract has no set-aside designation and work will be performed by Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas. Research conducted under this grant aims to further NASA's goals of advancing scientific knowledge of...
This is a $209,446.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, to investigate ice cloud formation in Titan's stratosphere. The grant involves a combination of experiments, models, and observations to further scientific understanding in this area. SwRI has a strong track record of supporting federal agencies through prime and subcontract awards, particularly in the areas of...
This is a $398,395.49 grant for research 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 supports a study on the thermal degradation of complex organic materials found in carbonaceous chondrites and comets, with the goal of understanding the evolution of volatile compounds in the interiors of icy bodies in the outer solar system. The research will involve...
This is a $206,172 cooperative agreement awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to advance the study of Titan's atmospheric composition through spectroscopic techniques using the TEXES spectrometer at the IRTF observatory. The work is motivated by NASA's 2022 Decadal Survey for Planetary Science and has the potential to inform our understanding of Titan's atmosphere and the origins of life in the universe. SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and...
This is a $757,193 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is to support a research project titled "USING ELLIPTICAL CRATERS TO CONSTRAIN THE BOMBARDMENT HISTORY OF SATURNS MIDSIZED ICY MOONS". The project appears to be related to planetary science and icy moon research, which is a common focus area for NASA grants. The award is not associated with a set-aside program and has a period of...
