The Earth, Oceans, and Space Department was established in 2013 as part of the SwRI Space Science and Engineering Division. SwRI-EOS is co-located with the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space, which provides an important synergy between Southwest Research Institute and UNH. SwRI-EOS conducts spaceflight and suborbital research projects for industry and government. Projects are focused on heliophysics, astrophysics, and Earth sciences. SwRI-EOS staff members have over 100 combined years of spaceflight and suborbital experience. The associated skillset is applicable to a wide range of applications, extending well beyond space-based projects. Link_to_UNH-EOS
