SMD’s Cross-cutting FY09 Budget Objectives
• Accelerates the Earth Science Decadal Survey missions. • Increase space science R&A/MO&DA to get better value from our flight missions. • Increase space science suborbital research programs to foster PI onramps, technology demonstration, and accomplish more science.
• Increase the number of planned missions in all four of SMD’s science theme areas.
• Support NRC Decadal Survey priorities. • Initiate an SMD lunar robotic science program.
10
Selected FY09 Budget Highlights: Earth Science
• Increase budget by $90M for each of FY09-11, then $150M for each of FY12 and FY13.
• Fund the development of two new Decadal Survey missions (SMAP and ICESAT II) and 5 total new mission starts over the next 6 years; first Decadal Survey launch now moved up to 2012. • Continue to implement 7 already started precursor missions (OSTM, OCO, Glory, Aquarius, NPP, LDCM, GPM) for launch between 2008 and 2013.
• Fund operations and data production for 14 NASA on-orbit missions in prime and extended phases. • With NOAA, fund and re-manifest key climate time series measurements (OMPS-Limb, CERES, TSIS).
11
Selected FY09 Budget Highlights: Heliophysics
• Fund a new start for Solar Probe Plus. • Fund ESA Solar Orbiter US participation.
• Fund new Explorer SMEX missions and a major Mission of Opportunity initiative for Heliophysics and Astrophysics. • Fund a revitalized Suborbital Rocket and Balloon program. • Augment Heliophysics R&A 10% in FY09, ramping to 29% in FY12.
12

• Fund a new start for JDEM (Dark Energy Mission) in FY09; continue LISA, Con-X, and Einstein Probe technology investments. • Refocus Navigator/SIM into a new medium class Exoplanet initiative.
• Accelerate SOFIA research capability in order to begin in 2009.
• Fund a revitalized Balloon and Suborbital Rocket Program.
• Augment Astrophysics R&A 26% in FY09.
13

• Fund a new start for the outer planets flagship mission (LRD 2016/2017); fund Cassini through 2011. • Initiate a new lunar robotic science flight mission line, with first launch by 2011. • Continue all existing Mars missions; launches in 2009, 2013, 2016; also US ExoMars participation for 2013 launch; initiate sample return studies leading to 2018 and 2020 missions; augment Mars DA and R&A. • Fully fund Juno (2011 launch) and New Frontiers 3 (2016 launch), as well as GRAIL (launch by 2011) and the next Discovery launch in 2014. • Augment Planetary R&A 30% in FY09.
14
Highlights of FY 2009 Budget Request
Exploration Systems -- $3,500.5M • Orion/Ares I Initial Operational Capability in March 2015 and Full Operational Capability in FY 2016. • NASA continues to strive to bring Orion/Ares I on line sooner. • Three Ares I flight tests prior to initial capability. • Ares I-X test from Pad B in Spring 2009. • Two Orion/Ares I test flights with crew prior to full capability. • Hardware tests have begun. • Ares I upper stage engine, J2X Power Pack #1 Hot Fire: Jan 31, 2008. • Launch Pad Abort Test: Sep 2008 at White Sands Test Facility. • Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter/LCROSS on track for late 2008 launch. • Fully funds $500M commitment for Commercial Orbital Transportation Services demonstrations. • Starts development of Ares V and Altair Lunar Lander in FY 2011 to return astronauts to the Moon by 2020.
15
Highlights of FY 2009 Budget Request
Space Operations -- $5,774.7M • 11 Shuttle launches through FY 2010 (10 ISS assembly flights plus a Hubble servicing mission). • Up to 2 additional ISS contingency flights may occur if they can be safely flown before October 2010. • Includes personnel severance and retention costs through last flight. • Shuttle retirement and transition planning continues, however, the specific requirements and budget estimates for Shuttle retirement after FY 2010 are too immature to be incorporated. • Pad B turned over to Constellation at the end of 2008 for Ares I modifications.
16
Highlights of FY 2009 Budget Request
Space Operations -- $5,774.7M • US segment of the International Space Station is essentially complete. European and Japanese labs are added in FY 2008, and in FY 2009, we expand the ISS crew to 6 astronauts/cosmonauts to fully use the ISS as both a National Laboratory and a testbed for future human exploration. • Eight planned launches of NASA payloads on expendable launch vehicles in FY 2009. • Consolidates Deep Space, Near-Earth, and Space communications networks into a centrally-managed unified space communications and navigation architecture within Space Operations. • Awarded contract for two new TDRS satellites for delivery in 2012, 2013. • Planning continues for upgrade of NASA’s integrated communications network.
17
Major FY09 Budget Changes
• • Increased commitment to Earth Science over 5 years. Six new FY09 missions starts: more than in the past four budgets combined; at least one per SMD science area: • Earth Science: SMAP and IceSat II (2012, 2015 launches) • Astrophysics: JDEM (launch in 2014/2015) • Heliophysics: Solar Probe Plus (launch in 2015) • Planetary: Outer Planets Flagship (launch in 2016/2017) small lunar science orbiter (launch in 2010/2011), and lunar minilanders (launch in 2013/2014). Substantial increases in astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science R&A/MO&DA. Increased budgets for suborbital rockets and balloons. Funding for new starts and R&A increases came from internal transfers, efficiencies, out-year mission ops savings, and re-phasings for MMS and Scout.
