This is a $330,921.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to advance the understanding of energy transfer and coupling processes between plasma and magnetic fields in the solar wind near Earth. The grant supports research objectives including determining the polytropic indices of the solar wind plasma, identifying relationships between magnetic field strength and plasma parameters, and distinguishing these...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $707,101.66 grant to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), an independent, nonprofit research organization, for the development of a "nowcasting" capability to describe the solar atmosphere and inner heliosphere in near-real-time. The project aims to adapt three existing analysis methods - fluxon modeling, magnetic tracking, and wind speed measurement - into an integrated model that can be used to drive...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct research related to understanding the origins and dynamics of jets, plumes, and the fast solar wind. The $133,174.23 grant aims to develop a deeper physical understanding of these solar phenomena through a coordinated approach combining observations, theory, and modeling. The research program addresses key questions in heliophysics, including...
This is a $179,420 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization, for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF PREFERENTIAL ION ENHANCEMENT IN SOLAR FLARES". The grant is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate programs, supporting research on solar system origins, planetary evolution, and space...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, valued at $149,713.65. The grant is for a research program to better understand the initiation, development, and evolution of transient coronal dimming regions and their relationship to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The program will use data from various solar observation satellites and instruments, including the Solar Dynamics...
This is a 3-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on November 17, 2016 to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The $362,015.59 grant is for a study to determine the dominant processes that lead to an asymmetric plasma sheet structure, as observed by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite. The research will leverage IBEX data along with in-situ measurements from other...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit organization, to investigate the origin of the slow solar wind. The work combines magnetohydrodynamic modeling, satellite imagery, and in-situ solar wind measurements to study the evolution of coronal holes and their relationship to the slow solar wind. The $303,369 grant supports research aligned with three of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey's...
This is a $379,768.00 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 for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF 3HE-RICH SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLES USING IN-SITU AND REMOTE IMAGING OBSERVATIONS". The award is not set aside and will run through March 8, 2026. SwRI has a strong track record of securing federal contracts and grants,...
This is a $901,205 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, for a project focused on understanding the solar wind and its impact on space weather. The grant will fund research into fundamental questions about the origin and acceleration of the solar wind, its connection to smaller-scale solar phenomena, and the partitioning of the wind into fast and slow streams. The work will involve...
This is a $439,649.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization, to enhance the capabilities of the Advanced Mass and Ionic Charge Composition Experiment (AMICCE) instrument. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a dual time-of-flight and energy (TOF-E) section for AMICCE, which will improve the instrument's ability to measure the ionic charge state, isotopic, and...
