This is a $273,608 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research supporting the Akatsuki mission to Venus. The objectives of the research are to: 1) search for atmospheric signatures of current volcanism on Venus, 2) investigate the climate implications of volcanic outgassing rates, and 3) adapt Akatsuki data sets and previous Venus data for public display and interpretation through the Science on a Sphere...
This is a $151,941 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization. The goal of the grant is to continue studying the atmosphere of Venus using ground-based observations and modeling. This grant falls under NASA's Science Mission Directorate and supports SwRI's ongoing research into solar system origins, planetary evolution, and space weather forecasting. The grant does not have...
This federal contract award, valued at $486,152.63, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization. The purpose of the contract is to provide spectral image cubes to accompany data from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Akatsuki spacecraft, which is orbiting Venus. The goal is to identify cloud properties, such as particle size, acidity, and altitude, as well as map the...
This federal contract award with the ID NNX16AK82G was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The contract, valued at $296,278.99, supports detailed modeling of the chemical evolution of Venus' atmosphere. This work is intended to enhance the science return of NASA's Venus Climate Orbiter (VCO) and European Space Agency's Venus Express (VEX)...
This is a $282,498.00 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. The grant supports a program of mid-infrared observations of Venus that will build a unique three-dimensional dataset of the temperature structure in the planet's mesosphere. The award is not associated with a set-aside program. SwRI has extensive experience supporting federal...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to support the Akatsuki mission to Venus. The mission payload consists of four imaging cameras, an ultrastable oscillator for atmospheric profiling, and a photodetector for lightning and airglow characterization. The $651,127 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from June 1,...
This is a $382,860 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate the potential for early aqueous processes on Venus and their effects on the planet's subsequent geological evolution. The research aims to provide insights into the early history of Venus, including the possibility of an ancient ocean and its impacts on the Venus' atmosphere and surface composition. The work complements climate modeling efforts to...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to conduct research on spectral parameters for water vapor in the Venus atmosphere. The research will combine a broadband, high resolution dual-frequency comb spectrometer with a high pressure, high temperature optical cell to measure the 1-2 micron spectrum of a water vapor-carbon dioxide mixture under Venus-like...
Southwest Research Institute has been awarded a $410,881 grant by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to serve as a guest investigator supporting and helping to define key science activities that may be completed during encounters of the BepiColombo Venus flybys in conjunction with the PHEBUS UV spectrometer. The period of performance for this research is through March 25, 2025. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. Southwest Research...
