    The appropriation provides for human space flight activities, 
including development of the Space Station, and operation of the Space 
Shuttle. This includes support of planned cooperative activities with 
Russia, upgrades to the performance and safety of the Space Shuttle and 
required construction projects in direct support of Space Station and 
Space Shuttle programs.

Performance Objectives

    Space Station.--The Space Station will be an international 
laboratory in low Earth orbit on which American, Russian, Canadian, 
European, and Japanese astronauts will conduct unique scientific and 
technological investigations in a microgravity environment. During 1993, 
the program underwent a major redesign activity to lower program costs. 
In 1994, the program began making the necessary management and design 
changes to integrate the augmented capabilities made possible by the 
addition of Russia to the International Partners. In 1995, the program 
completed transition to a new program structure, and began flight 
hardware fabrication. Activities are well underway to support crew 
training, payload processing, and hardware element processing 
requirements. Hardware fabrication activities will continue in 1996. 
Final fabrication of flight hardware will be the focus of the program. 
First element launch is scheduled for late 1997.

    U.S./Russian Cooperative Program.--The United States and Russia are 
planning to undertake a program of joint space missions involving the 
Space Shuttle and Russian Mir Space Station. In 1995, a U.S. astronaut 
spent several months on the Mir Space Station, and the first rendezvous 
and docking mission between the Space Shuttle and Mir took place. In 
1996, three Shuttle flights to Mir are planned. Flight hardware to 
conduct experiments will be carried on these flights. These flights will 
provide valuable opportunities to gain experience in working with our 
Russian partners, which will be crucial to the success of building and 
operating the international Space Station. These flights will continue 
in FY 1997, with three additional flights planned, completing phase I of 
this cooperative precurser to Space Station.

    Payload and Utilization Operations.--These funds will support the 
mission planning and hardware preparation activities required to support 
the payload and experiment infrastructure, including the spacelab which 
is planned to be flown on the Space Shuttle. The Engineering and 
Technical Base provides basic engineering and technical capabilities to 
support the NASA mission assigned to the programs carried out by the 
human space flight centers. The program will support

[[Page 906]]
seven missions planned in 1997, including the Microgravity Sciences 
Laboratory (MSL-1) spacelab mission, three missions to the MIR and the 
Hubble Telescope maintenance mission. In addition, 13 Hitchhiker and 
several GAS payloads will be supported. In FY 1997, over 23 major and 
secondary payloads will be launched. The Spacelab program is scheduled 
to be terminated in 1998.

    Space Shuttle.--The Space Shuttle is a reusable space vehicle which 
provides several unique capabilities to the United States space program. 
These include launching spacecraft and retrieving payloads from orbit 
for reuse, servicing and repairing satellites in space, safely 
transporting humans to and from space, and operating and returning space 
laboratories. In 1995, six Shuttle missions were accomplished, including 
the first docking mission between the Space Shuttle and the Russian Mir 
Space Station. In 1996, eight Shuttle missions are planned. Activities 
supporting consolidation of Shuttle contracts into one Space Flight 
Operations contract will be completed in FY 1996. This will result in 
significant reductions in the cost of operating the Space Shuttle 
through FY 2000 and beyond, with no impact on safety, performance or 
schedule.

    In 1997, seven shuttle flights are planned. Continued emphasis will 
be placed on enhancements to the safety and performance of the Space 
Shuttle.

operation of programmatic facilities.

Performance Objectives

    Space Science:
        Beginning in FY 1997, the Physics and Astronomy and Planetary 
    Exploration budget line items will be consolidated into one budget 
    line item, Space Science. This consolidation reflects the management 
    and organization of space science activities at NASA and has no 
    impact on program content.
        Physics and Astronomy.--This program contributes to our 
    understanding of the origin of the universe, the fundamental laws of 
    physics, and the study of the Earth's and other naturally occurring 
    plasmas in the universe. Development activities will continue in 
    1996-1997 on the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility in support of 
    a launch in late 1998. Development activities on the Global Geospace 
    Science program are complete. The first of the two missions (Wind) 
    was launched in November 1994 and initial operations are underway. 
    The second mission (Polar) is due to be launched in the near future. 
    Development activities continue on the Relativity (Gravity Probe-B) 
    mission. The Preliminary Design Review was completed in March, 1995, 
    four months ahead of schedule. In Explorers, the X-ray Timing 
    Explorer was successfully launched in December 1995. Development 
    activities continue on the Advanced Composition Explorer for a 
    launch in late 1997. Selection of candidate missions for the Small- 
    (SMEX) and Medium (MIDEX)-class Explorer programs continues. These 
    missions emphasize reduced mission costs and accelerated launch 
    schedules. Several significant scientific discoveries were reported 
    in 1995 based on data gathered from the Hubble Space Telescope, and 
    similar results are anticipated in the future. Preparations are 
    currently underway for a second servicing mission in early-mid 1997 
    which will provide two new science instruments and other servicing 
    requirements as needed. Funding is included to continue development 
    activities on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy 
    (SOFIA). A commercial operator for development and operation of the 
    SOFIA aircraft is expected to be selected in 1996. Initial 
    operations are expected by the end of FY 2000. Definition activities 
    on the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) and TIMED missions 
    will continue.
        Planetary Exploration.--This program encompasses the scientific 
    exploration of the solar system including the planets and their 
    satellites, comets and asteroids, and the interplanetary medium. 
    Development activities will continue on the Cassini mission to 
    Saturn for launch in 1997. Development activities on the Mars Global 
    Surveyor mission continue with launch planned for late 1996. Funds 
    are requested for development of future Mars missions in 1998 and 
    beyond. Development activities on the first two Discovery class 
    missions, Mars Pathfinder and the Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous, 
    are nearing completion, and these missions are scheduled for launch 
    in 1996. The Lunar Prospector mission is scheduled for launch in 
    1997. Funding is also included for future Discovery class missions. 
    The New Millennium Spacecraft program is underway. This program will 
    incorporate critical new technologies into a series of small test 
    missions designed to greatly reduce the mass and cost of future 
    science instruments and spacecraft subsystems. After a six-year 
    cruise period, Galileo arrived at Jupiter in December 1995 to 
    conduct a two-year tour of the planet and its moons.

    Life and Microgravity Sciences.--This program uses the microgravity 
environment of space to conduct basic and applied research to understand 
the effect of gravity on living systems and to conduct research in the 
areas of fluid physics, materials science and biotechnology. In 1995, 
the 116 day stay of an U.S. astronaut on the MIR, followed by the 
successful shuttle/MIR rendezvous, provided an excellent opportunity to 
conduct a wide range of research. Subsequent flights to MIR will provide 
the means for continuing research activities. In 1996, six major shuttle 
missions involving materials and life sciences experiments are planned. 
These missions will provide the opportunity to refine the definition, 
design and development of experiment hardware planned for use on the 
Space Station. In 1997, four major shuttle missions are planned with a 
life sciences or microgravity focus. These include the Materials 
Sciences Laboratory mission and three NASA/MIR missions. An aggressive 
four year cooperative program with the National Institute of Child 
Health and Human Development began in 1995. Research activities will 
focus on use of NASA's bioreactor technology in the area of AIDS 
research.

    Mission to Planet Earth.--The goal of this program is to gain a 
better understanding of the processes in the atmosphere, oceans, land 
surface and interior of the Earth, and to advance our knowledge of the 
interactions between these environments. The Upper Atmosphere Research 
Satellite and TOPEX, supported by ground-based and airborne 
observations, continue to gather valuable scientific data on the Earth's 
environment. In 1994, three Space Shuttle missions were flown (SRL-1 and 
-2, and ATLAS-3) with Earth Science as the major focus. Funding is 
included for the continued development of the first Earth Observing 
Satellite (EOS) Mission (EOS AM-1) for launch in 1998 and development of 
the Earth Observing System Data Information System (EOSDIS). Fabrication 
of all AM-1 spacecraft subsystems is proceeding on schedule to support 
the planned launch in mid-1998. In 1996, work on EOSDIS Version 1 will 
continue, with completion planned in FY 1997. EOSDIS will complete 
Version 2, which will support the EOSDIS and Landsat-7 missions. Launch 
of the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) as a free-flying Earth 
probe is awaiting resolution of technical issues with the Pegasus XL 
launch vehicle. Launch of TOMS and the NASA Scatterometer is planned for 
1996. The release of EOSDIS Version 1 in 1997 will support the 1997 
launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM.)

    Aeronautical Research and Technology.--The goal of this program is 
to conduct aeronautical research and develop technology to strengthen 
U.S. leadership in civil and military aviation. In 1995, the Advanced 
Subsonic Technology program continued to make substantial progress, and 
funding to continue all elements is included in FY 1996 and FY 1997. 
Funding is provided to continue Phase II of the High Speed Research 
program directed at developing and verifying technologies essential for 
an economically viable and environmentally compatible future High Speed 
Civil Transport system. In the area of High Performance Computing, NASA 
has pioneered the implementation of design and simulation software on 
parallel machines. Funding is included to continue NASA's leadership 
role in this area. In the Research and Technology base, research 
activities in various aeronautical disciplines will continue to develop 
innovative concepts, the physical understanding and the theoretical and 
computation tools required for the efficient design and operation of 
advanced aerospace systems. NASA will continue to operate critical 
national facilities for aeronautical research and for support of 
industry, Department of Defense and other NASA programs.

    Space Access and Technology.--The goal of this program is to provide 
new and innovative space technologies to meet the challenges and lower 
the cost of future space missions. The initial two Small Satellite 
Technology Initiative (SSTI) missions, ``Lewis'' and ``Clark'' are 
scheduled to be launched in 1996, pending resolution of technical 
concerns with the Lockheed launch vehicle. The SSTI program continues in 
FY

[[Page 908]]
1977 in close coordination with New Millennium program activities 
underway in the Office of Mission to Planet Earth. In 1995 and 1996, the 
Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) program continues to pursue technology 
development and concept definition activities in support of next-
generation reusable systems and will also fund flight demonstration of 
the DC-XA, an upgrade of the DC-X vehicle developed and flown by DOD. 
Based on results of these activities, a decision will be made by the 
President no later than December, 1996, on whether to proceed with 
design, construction and flight testing of a large-scale, reusable 
launch vehicle demonstrator, designated the X-33. Funding for this 
program continues in FY 1997.

    Mission Communication Services.--The primary goal of this 
operational program in all years is to provide highly reliable, cost-
effective telecommunications services in support of NASA's science and 
aeronautics programs. Other U.S. agencies, international space-faring 
agencies, and U.S. commercial enterprises are also supported on a 
reimbursable basis. Ground network, space network, and mission systems 
are provided under this program in support of planetary, deep space, 
Earth-orbiting, aeronautic, and suborbital systems.

    Academic Programs.--The goal of this program is to promote 
excellence in America's education system through enhancing and expanding 
scientific and technological competence. NASA's education programs span 
from the elementary through graduate level, and are directed at students 
as well as faculty. The goal of the Minority University Research Program 
is to expand opportunities for talented students from underrepresented 
groups pursuing degrees in science and engineering, as well as 
strengthening the research capabilities of minority universities and 
colleges. In 1995-1997, the range of activities conducted under this 
program will continue to capture the interest of all students in science 
and technology, develop talented students at the undergraduate and 
graduate levels, provide research opportunities for students and faculty 
members at NASA centers and strengthen and enhance the research 
capabilities of the nation's colleges and universities.

    Funding is also provided in a government-wide account for several 
NASA science missions. These funds are included to make these programs 
consistent with OMB's fixed asset policy. This policy requires all or 
distinct portions of a fixed asset's budget authority be identified 
upfront. NASA will transition the rest of their fixed asset programs to 
be consistent with this policy in the FY 1998 budget.

    This appropriation provides for mission support, including: safety, 
reliability and quality assurance activities supporting agency programs; 
space communication services for NASA programs; salaries and related 
expenses in support of research in NASA field installations; design, 
repair, rehabilitation and modification of institutional facilities and 
construction of new institutional facilities; and other operations 
activities supporting conduct of agency programs.

    Performance Objectives:

    Safety, Reliability and Quality Assurance.--The goal of this program 
is to assure the safety and quality of NASA missions, through the 
development, implementation and oversight of Agencywide safety, 
engineering, reliability, maintainability, and quality assurance 
policies and procedures. During 1995-1997, flight program utilization of 
standards developed in this program will continue.

    Space Communication Services.--Activities included in this program 
provide for the tracking, telemetry, command, data acquisition, 
communications and data processing required by NASA flight projects. In 
1995-1997, the networks and support systems which accomplish these tasks 
will continue operation. In 1995, the seventh Tracking and Data Relay 
Satellite (TDRS) was launched. Completion of the upgrade of the TDRS 
White Sands Complex and early development of the TDRS Replenishment 
Spacecraft will occur in 1996.

    Research and Program Management.--This activity provides for the 
salaries, travel support, other personnel expenses of the entire NASA 
civil service workforce. It also includes vital support to the civil 
service workforce and to the physical plant at the Centers and at NASA 
Headquarters.

    Construction of Facilities.--This activity provides for the facility 
construction activities to preserve NASA's core infrastructure, 
environmental compliance and restoration activities, the design of 
facilities projects, and the advanced planning related to future 
facilities needs. In 1995-1997, activities in support of discrete 
projects to repair and modernize the basic infrastructure and 
institutional facilities at NASA centers will be conducted, as well as 
activities in support of environmental compliance and restoration 
requirements.

    Funding is also provided in a government-wide account for NASA's 
Tracking and Data Relay System. These funds are included to make these 
programs consistent with OMB's fixed asset policy. This policy requires 
all or distinct portions of a fixed asset's budget authority be 
identified upfront. NASA will transition the rest of their fixed asset 
programs to be consistent with this policy in the FY 1998 budget.
