- This is a $363,952 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of 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 a research project titled "Constraints on Hydrological Climates on Ancient Mars from Formation and Persistence of Crater Paleolakes," which is focused on studying the formation and evolution of ancient crater lakes on Mars. The grant has a...
- 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 to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) instrument aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The $327,442.01 grant will fund a systematic study to identify and investigate regional-scale (mesoscale) atmospheric phenomena on Mars, including topographic circulations, gravity waves, clouds, and dust storms. The research aims to characterize these...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization. The purpose of the $161,443 grant is to conduct research and analysis on Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) - narrow, seasonal features on Mars that may be caused by flowing liquid water. The research aims to provide quantitative data on the water budgets of multiple RSL sites to better understand their...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $557,226.87 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on April 15, 2020, to investigate the conditions and locations on Mars where deliquescence—the process by which solid salts absorb moisture and dissolve into liquid—could occur on both the surface and subsurface. The research objective aims to determine the likely geographical locations, seasonal patterns, and times of day when such deliquescence events may take...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $660,970 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 1, 2024, for a study investigating whether fresh dust deposition increases recurring slope lineae activity on Mars. The grant, which extends through September 30, 2027, represents fundamental scientific research aligned with NASA's planetary science objectives. SwRI, a prominent San Antonio-based nonprofit research organization with over 2,700 staff...
- This is a grant awarded 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 $107,261.88 grant is for a Mars data analysis project to investigate the environmental controls on the seasonal formation of downslope flows emanating from dark dune spots in the mid-latitudes of Mars' southern hemisphere. The analysis is expected to reveal interactions between...
- This is a $523,668.00 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for research on "Martian Dynamic Habitability from the Recent Past to the Present Day." The grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. SwRI is a prominent nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas that provides advanced scientific and engineering services to various government...
- This federal contract award, valued at $477,177.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization. The contract is for a research project titled "Laboratory Investigations of the Microstructural Properties of Planetary Ice." The objectives of the research are to: (1) measure the unfrozen water content and permeability of ice-regolith mixtures with solutes as a function of...
- This is a $412,363.61 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent non-profit research and development organization. The grant is for electromagnetic sounding of the interior of Mars using the InSight and MAVEN spacecraft, which will complement the seismological and geodesy investigations by InSight and inform the principal structures in Mars' crust and mantle. This work is focused on determining the presence or...
