- This is a $359,766.59 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization, to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of near-surface ice on Mars. The research aims to determine the model formation ages of layered and radial ejecta craters, analyze erosion rates, and identify spatial-temporal correlations to better understand the evolution of Mars'...
- This federal contract award, valued at $283,498.55, 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 is for a project that seeks to characterize, through physical analog modeling experiments, how icy planetary lithospheres respond to localized extension and the efficacy of tectonic processes in resurfacing icy moons. The project aims to...
- This federal contract award from NASA to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, is focused on improving the understanding of the hydrologic and climatic environment on Mars during the Noachian-Hesperian period. The work involves using global climate models to simulate the early Martian climate and driving groundwater models to predict locations of hydrological activity and sediment deposition, with a focus on the Meridiani Planum and Gale Crater regions. This...
- This is a $399,873.03 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization. The research aims to study extracellular ice binding proteins (IBPs) from cold-tolerant microorganisms found in glaciers, sea ice, and permafrost, and to investigate the detectability of these IBPs using geophysical techniques like ice-penetrating radar and magnetotellurics. The goal is to...
- This is a $650,522 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant's objective is to determine if a variety of layered-ejecta (LE) craters on Mars and Ganymede can be formed by mixtures of impact-fragmented rock and ice, and specifically whether a surface layer of ice can explain the occurrence of LE craters at low latitudes on Mars. This...
- This is a $352,517.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research on the formation of thermal-contraction polygons on Mars and the effects of variable subsurface ice content, using geophysical surveys of Antarctic dry valley analogs. The work is not set aside. SwRI is a prominent nonprofit research and development organization that regularly competes for and secures prime and subcontract awards across...
- This is a $474,071.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for the "MICROHABITABLE ENVIRONMENTS IN ICE" project. SwRI is a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The contract has no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by January 6, 2026. SwRI has a strong track record of securing prime and subcontract awards from various federal agencies, including the...
- This is a $523,539 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research on the activation of lunar grain surfaces through ion irradiation. The research aims to understand the distribution of adsorption site energies for water and argon molecules on these artificially-weathered lunar grain surfaces and whether the results support or refute the proposed diurnal water cycle on the Moon. SwRI, a nonprofit...
- 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 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...
