This federal contract award to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, will support a study on the physics of impact cratering on the Moon and Mercury. The $404,505.49 grant, awarded by NASA, will fund an extensive mapping campaign using lunar and Mercury spacecraft imagery to investigate the formation and distribution of secondary craters and ejecta from large primary impact events. This research aims to improve the understanding of crater excavation processes...
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...
This federal contract award, valued at $328,279.38, was granted by the Shared Services Center (agency ID 8000|8000|80NSSC-A) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to study the formation mechanisms of layered ejecta craters on Mars. The award, which has no set-aside designation, supports research to determine if specific subclasses of these craters were formed exclusively by a "fluidized" or "atmospheric" model, or require a combination of both. The work will utilize...
This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC21K1427, was granted to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The contract, which is not set aside, is a grant for research valued at $420,000.00 with a performance period ending on November 30, 2025. The objectives of the contract are to obtain data about small Martian impact craters to answer three science questions. SwRI, which has a strong track...
This contract award is a $506,042 grant for research on exploring cratering and impact-induced cracking of iron meteorites, awarded to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The work is being performed for the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, and does not have a set-aside designation. SwRI is known for its expertise in scientific and engineering services across various government agencies, including the Department of...
This is a $355,141.45 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to study the effect of terrain properties on determining crater-retention ages of lunar surfaces. The objectives are to ascertain the influence of regional and vertical variations in terrain mechanical properties on crater size-frequency distributions and crater-retention age computations, which are important for understanding the Moon's geologic history...
This is a $523,668.00 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The contract is for the project "MARTIAN DYNAMIC HABITABILITY FROM THE RECENT PAST TO THE PRESENT DAY" and has a period of performance through November 30, 2026. SwRI has significant experience supporting various federal agencies through prime and subcontract awards,...
This is a $371,658 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit 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. SwRI will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on...
This is a 3-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop a comprehensive lunar crater database. The goal is to create a higher-order data product by adding detailed morphology and morphometry information to an existing basic crater database, which will greatly increase the utility of this resource for planetary science research. SwRI will use publicly available data from lunar orbiters to systematically...
This federal contract, awarded by NASA to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), supports fundamental research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, which is a central theme in NASA's strategic goals and the Emerging Worlds program. The $489,729.98 grant will fund theoretical investigations into the planetesimal accretion processes, early dynamical evolution of planetesimals, and planetary migration/instability in the outer solar system. As a prominent federal contractor,...
