- This is a $3,150,772.00 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 to modify an existing mass spectrometer electrical engineering development unit to withstand environmental testing. This award is not set aside for any specific type of business. SwRI is a prominent federal contractor, supporting various government agencies through prime and...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC20K1429, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The $599,848.00 grant is for a research project to study the hydration of lunar regolith near Apollo landing sites, using data from the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) instrument onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). The project aims...
- This is a federal grant award to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant, valued at $99,495.55, was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to expand SwRI's capabilities for tidal stress modeling on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The work aims to incorporate layered structures, physical libration, and non-synchronous rotation into the tidal stress models, and to assess tectonic...
This is a $242,775 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 for the reanalysis of data from the Surface Electrical Properties (SEP) experiment conducted during the Apollo 17 lunar mission. The goal is to apply modern numerical modeling techniques to better understand the geology and porosity structure of the Taurus-Littrow region on the lunar surface, using the SEP data in conjunction with other geophysical data from the Apollo and GRAIL missions. This work is relevant to NASA's Surfaces and Interiors research program and will extend the legacy of the Apollo program. The contract is not a set-aside and was awarded directly to SwRI, which has a strong track record of securing both prime contracts and grants from various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission, for a wide range of scientific and engineering services.
