Small Satellite Conference

SwRI will be exhibiting at the Small Satellite Conference, booth no. 919.

Founded in 1947, Southwest Research Institute^® (SwRI^®) is an independent, nonprofit research and development organization that provides solutions to some of the world’s most challenging scientific and engineering problems. SwRI is internationally recognized for space research, spacecraft, instrumentation, and avionics. The Institute has recently expanded its space-related activities into satellite design, development, and fabrication, with a state-of-the-art, 74,000-square-foot dedicated facility. Our staff is actively engaged in research on terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres, solar physics, and planetary geology and atmospheres, as well as comets, asteroids, and other small solar system bodies. SwRI was the principal investigator institution for IMAGE, New Horizons, IBEX, Juno, MMS, Lucy, and PUNCH missions. SwRI-developed instruments have flown, are flying, or are under development for flight on myriad NASA and ESA missions, including CYGNSS and JUICE. SwRI-developed avionics systems have flown without a single on-orbit failure on more than 50 government and commercial missions.
