- This federal contract award, valued at $305,055.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The award supports a three-year research project aimed at understanding the combined effects of atmospheric chemistry and transport on Venus. The goal is to develop a quantitative understanding of how global-scale transport impacts the chemistry in Venus' upper troposphere...
- This is a $478,846 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to support two main objectives: 1) continuing ground-based infrared observations of Venus to complement data from the Japanese Akatsuki spacecraft, and 2) analyzing past and upcoming observations to determine cloud velocities, cloud properties, and trace gas abundances on Venus. The grant will fund observational time at telescopes like the Infrared Telescope...
- This federal contract award is to Southwest Research Institute, a nonprofit research and development organization, for the purpose of making publicly available the privately held background data from the Electron Spectrometer (ELS) instrument on the Venus Express (VEX) ASPERA-4 experiment package. The background data, which was characterized by Southwest Research Institute during the 9-year VEX mission but not previously archived, is crucial for improving the science quality and accuracy of...
- 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...
- This is a $463,195.96 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for "OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES OF VENUS PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS" and has an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2024. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation, indicating SSI competed based on scientific and technical merit. SSI has extensive experience...
- This federal contract award, valued at $498,109.00, was granted to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the potential for atmospheric formations around large trans-Neptunian objects. The contract is a grant for research, with a completion date of May 31, 2025. SwRI is a nonprofit, applied research and development organization that has supported various government agencies, including NASA, through prime and subcontract...
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) missions by analyzing ultraviolet imaging and high-resolution spectroscopic observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. The research aims to gain insights into the relationship between atmospheric chemistry and dynamics on Venus, as well as the sulfur oxide cycle and formation of Venus' dense clouds. This contract is not designated as a set-aside and is part of NASA's broader VCO Participating Scientist Program. SwRI is a prominent federal contractor with expertise across defense, space, and energy domains, delivering a wide range of scientific and engineering services to various government agencies.
