- This contract, awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency), provides a $259,701.63 grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to develop a new crater production function model for the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. The goal is to create an improved standard for dating planetary surfaces in the inner solar system, which is crucial for a variety of planetary science studies. SwRI, an independent nonprofit research organization, will analyze high-resolution orbital imagery to directly...
- This 3-year, $640,606.62 grant was awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research organization, to acquire morphology and morphometry data for a global lunar crater database. The database will include craters 1 kilometer in diameter or larger, which is a critical size range that can inform many poorly understood lunar processes. SwRI will leverage publicly available data, primarily from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's cameras...
- The U.S. government awarded a $548,714 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) under contract 21-EW21-0033 for scientific investigation into planetesimal formation, evolution, and impacts. The award, issued on January 1, 2023, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, represents fundamental research support through a civilian federal agency. SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, will conduct this work at its San...
- 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 is a $506,042 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, for a project titled "EXPLORING CRATERING AND IMPACT-INDUCED CRACKING OF IRON METEORITES". The grant is for scientific research and does not have a set-aside designation. SwRI has extensive experience as a federal contractor and grantee, providing technical solutions and conducting advanced research for various...
- This is a $407,487 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 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. Key focus areas include scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
- 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 $468,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization, to investigate the potential formation and subsequent removal of intra-Mercurial planets in the early solar system. The project employs advanced numerical simulations to evaluate various hypotheses, including the impact of Jupiter's migration and pebble accretion on the removal of these hypothetical inner...
- 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 $419,348.30 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 a study on the orbital dynamics of small bodies and their impacts in the solar system. SwRI has a long history of supporting NASA's space science initiatives through prime and subcontract awards. The grant is not set aside and is part of SwRI's broader portfolio of federal...
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 and surface modification across the solar system, with a focus on comparing the role of gravity between the two planetary bodies. The award is not set aside and represents SwRI's capability to secure competitive federal grants for scientific research.
