Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is a San Antonio-based independent R&D organization. It is the home institution of scott-bolton, principal investigator of the juno mission.
SwRI also leads the Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instruments aboard both ESA’s JUICE and NASA’s Europa Clipper (PI kurt-retherford). In November 2025 these twin instruments made the first simultaneous two-direction views of interstellar comet 3i-atlas’s coma (src-3i-atlas-dual-spacecraft-imaging-2026-05).
