This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the
Science, Aeronautics and Exploration (SAE) activities of the Agency,
which consist of the Space Science, Earth Science, Biological and
Physical Research, Aeronautics, and Education Programs. The full costs
include both the direct and the indirect costs supporting these
programs, and provide for all of the research; development; operations;
salaries and related expenses; design, repair, rehabilitation, and
modification of facilities and construction of new facilities;
maintenance and operation of existing facilities; and other general and
administrative activities supporting Science, Aeronautics and
Exploration programs. This account includes activities that were
previously funded in the Science, Aeronautics, and Technology account.
Performance Objectives
Detailed performance goals associated with the Science, Aeronautics
and Exploration (SAE) activities are addressed in NASA's FY 2004
President's Budget. The SAE activities include: Space Science, Earth
Science, Biological and Physical Research, Aeronautics, and Education
Programs; and are described below.
Space Science.--NASA's Space Science program seeks to answer
fundamental questions concerning: the galaxy and the universe; the
connections among the Sun, Earth and heliosphere; the origin and
evolution of planetary systems; and the origin and distribution of life
in the universe. The Space Science program is comprised of many research
and development activities, including flight missions, major space-based
facilities, technology and mission development programs, and research
and data analysis.
NASA will proceed in the development of several major missions,
including the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA),
the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), the Gamma-ray
Large-Area Space Telescope (GLAST), the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
and the final Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Servicing Mission. SOFIA
development will continue in preparation for a spring 2005 first science
flight. STEREO, scheduled for launch in November 2005, will advance our
understanding of the Sun's corona (its outer ``atmosphere''), the origin
of huge eruptions of solar material known as coronal mass ejections
(CMEs), and the interaction between CMEs and the Earth's environment.
GLAST, which will investigate the high-energy world of black holes and
neutron stars, is on track for launch in the fall of 2006. SDO will
increase our understanding of the Sun's magnetic field, solar wind,
energetic particles, and variations in solar irradiance. Development of
SDO begins in 2004. During the final HST Servicing Mission, also
scheduled for 2004, astronauts will install the Cosmic Origins
Spectrograph (COS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) to extend the
telescope's operational life to 2010. Development activities supporting
several key missions in the payloads program, such as Solar-B and
Herschel, will also continue in 2004.
[[Page 956]]
Support for the Explorer and New Millennium programs will continue.
Small- and Medium-class Explorer missions provide frequent flight
opportunities for a diverse array of world-class scientific
investigations--recently selected projects will examine diffuse
intergalactic radiation and ice in Earth's mesosphere. Another Small
Explorers mission, the second of the Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom
Spectrometers (TWINS), will be launched in 2004 to provide stereoscopic
images of the Earth's magnetosphere for the first time. The New
Millennium Program provides flight demonstrations of critical new
technologies that will reduce the mass and cost of future science and
spacecraft subsystems, while maintaining or improving mission
capabilities. Several of these innovative Space Technology projects (ST-
5, 6, and 7) are scheduled for launch from 2004 through 2006.
The Discovery Program provides frequent access to space for small
planetary missions that will perform high-quality scientific
investigations. Both Deep Impact, the first space mission to probe
beneath the surface of a comet and reveal the secrets of its interior,
and the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging
(MESSENGER) mission to orbit Mercury are scheduled for launch in 2004.
The Kepler Mission to explore the structure and diversity of planetary
systems, with a special emphasis on detecting Earth-size planets in the
habitable zones around other stars, will be in development in 2004, as
will the Dawn mission to study the asteroids 1 Ceres and 4 Vesta.
Focused technology programs are included in each of the five major
Space Science themes: Astronomical Search for Origins, Structure and
Evolution of the Universe, Solar System Exploration, Mars Exploration
Program, and Sun-Earth Connection. Funding is provided for early
technology development in support of strategic missions, such as the
James Webb (formerly ``Next Generation'') Space Telescope and the Living
With a Star Program. The goal is to retire technology risk early in a
mission's lifecycle, before proceeding to full-scale development. Funds
are also provided to continue ongoing operations of approximately thirty
spacecraft, and to conduct robust research and analysis, data analysis,
and suborbital research campaigns.
The budget request for 2004 features two new initiatives: Optical
Communication and the Jupiter Icy Moons Tour. Optical Communication
seeks to use lasers to improve by many orders of magnitude the
communication data rate for deep space missions. Current limitations on
data transfer using radio constrain scientific discovery and public
participation in our space missions. The Jupiter Icy Moons Tour will
explore the icy moons of Jupiter (Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto),
providing a full characterization of the moons through orbital
reconnaissance. This will set the stage for the next phase of Jovian
exploration, to include surface chemical and organic investigations, and
a probe to explore the sub-surface environment. This mission will be
part of Project Prometheus, an effort started last year to demonstrate
nuclear power and nuclear electric propulsion technology that can open
the solar system to detailed research and exploration.
Earth Science.--NASA's Earth Science Program contributes to the
Agency's mission to understand and protect our home planet by developing
a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to both
natural and human-induced changes to enable improved prediction of
climate, weather and natural hazards for present and future generations.
The Earth Science Program seeks to answer a question of fundamental
importance to science and society: How is the Earth system changing, and
what are the consequences for life on Earth? In pursuit of this
question, NASA has pioneered the interdisciplinary research field of
Earth System Science, which recognizes that the Earth's land surface,
oceans, atmosphere, ice sheets, and life itself all interact in a highly
dynamic system. Employing a constellation of over 15 Earth observing
satellites routinely making measurements with over 80 remote sensing
instruments, NASA has made it an Agency goal to understand the Earth
system and apply Earth System Science to improve prediction of climate,
weather, and natural hazards. Within this goal, we have defined two
strategic objectives: (1) Science--observe, analyze, and model the Earth
system to discover how it is changing and the consequences for life on
Earth; and (2) Applications--expand and accelerate the realization of
economic and societal benefits from Earth science information and
technology; with Earth System Science and Earth Science Applications as
the corresponding budget themes.
Within Earth System Science, NASA works with the science community
to identify questions on the frontiers of science that have profound
societal importance, and to which remote sensing of the Earth can make a
defining contribution. These science questions become the foundation of
a research strategy, which defines requirements for scientific
observations, and a roadmap for combining the technology, observations,
modeling efforts, basic research, and partnerships needed to answer the
questions over time. We are responding to the scientific community's
call for comprehensive observation of the Earth's major components using
the Earth Observing System (EOS). NASA uses the global view from space
to contribute to the U.S. Government's Global Change Research Program
(USGCRP) and Climate Change Research Initiative (CCRI). We have
identified key areas of investment that will enable us to do more, and
do it more rapidly, with a targeted investment in observations,
research, and modeling of uncertainties surrounding the forces acting on
the climate system.
Within Earth Science Applications, NASA enables the application of
information and knowledge gained through partnerships with other federal
agencies. These partnerships focus on innovative approaches for using
Earth science information and knowledge to provide decision support
information. This information supports myriad operational applications,
as well as policy discussions, and is used to address a variety of
national priorities, including economic issues and homeland security.
Through the Earth Science Applications program, NASA is working with
organizations with the appropriate information infrastructure to apply
NASA's Earth science results to help manage coastal environments,
agriculture and water resources, and aviation safety; monitor air and
water quality, forest fires, and the impacts of infectious diseases and
invasive species; and conduct hurricane forecasting and disaster relief
efforts. The potential socioeconomic benefits of these applications are
significant.
Biological and Physical Research.--NASA's Biological and Physical
Research (BPR) Enterprise addresses the opportunities and challenges of
space flight through basic and applied research on the ground and in
space. The program exploits the rich opportunities of space flight in
pursuit of answers to a broad set of scientific questions that support
NASA's goals to explore the fundamental principles of physics, chemistry
and biology through research in the unique natural laboratory of space,
and to extend the duration and boundaries of human space flight to
create new opportunities for scientific exploration and discovery. The
major outcomes of this research include fundamental scientific progress
and safer more efficient space travel. BPR includes three themes:
Biological Sciences Research, Physical Sciences Research, and Research
Partnerships and Flight Support.
Physical Science Research supports basic and applied research that
takes advantage of the unique environment of space to expand our
understanding of the fundamental laws
[[Page 957]]
of nature. The theme supports NASA's mission to explore the universe and
search for life both through applied research to improve safety and
performance and through exploratory research on the fundamental laws of
nature. The theme supports NASA's mission to understand and protect our
home planet by producing research results that have direct application
to industrial products and processes.
Biological Science Research conducts basic and applied research to
enable and support a safe human presence in space in support of NASA's
mission to explore the universe and search for life. This theme includes
a basic biology research component that pursues fundamental biological
research questions as an integral element of understanding how space
affects life at all levels, from genes to cells to organisms. This theme
supports research to define and control the physiological and
psychological challenges to human health associated with space flight,
including research on radiation risks, risks associated with
microgravity, and risks associated with prolonged isolation and small
group dynamics. The theme also includes research and development to
improve the reliability and performance of life support systems and
spacecraft crew interfaces.
The FY 2004 budget request reflects the results of the NASA Advisory
Council's Research Maximization and Prioritization (ReMaP) Task Force
recommendations. The request expands planned biomedical research and
countermeasures experiments, including a new Human Research Initiative;
initiates a limited flight program in high priority advanced human
support technology; places additional emphasis on physical science
research, including applications to human space flight; and reinstates
funding for plant and animal habitats for planned centrifuge research on
the International Space Station (ISS).
Implementing ReMaP in the FY 2004 budget is a crucial first step in
a longer running planning and prioritization process. In the near term,
research and facility development are aligned with the ReMaP priorities
in the FY 04 Budget. At the same time, BPR has responded to NASA's new
strategic plan by adopting a 5-year direction consistent with overall
agency vision, mission and goals. This direction has identified major
research thrusts, consistent with the agency strategic plan and the
management changes required to support these thrusts.
Aeronautics.--Aeronautics Technology addresses the Agency's goal to
``enable a safer, more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly
air transportation system'' by performing research and technology to:
decrease the aircraft fatal accident rate and the vulnerability of the
air transportation system to threats; protect the local and global
environmental quality by reducing aircraft noise and emissions; and
enable more people and goods to travel faster and farther with fewer
delays. NASA works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) in setting these goals. Additionally, in support of the Agency
goal ``to create a more secure world and improve the quality of life by
investing in technologies and to collaborate with other agencies,
industry and academia,'' Aeronautics Technology supports national
security through aeronautical partnerships with the Department of
Defense and other government agencies. Finally, this theme enables
pioneering aeronautical concepts to support earth and space science
missions and new commercial markets in support of the Agency goal to
``enable revolutionary capabilities through new technology.''
Three research and technology programs compose the Aeronautics
Technology theme. The Aviation Safety and Security Program develops and
demonstrates technologies and strategies for the prevention,
intervention, and mitigation of factors contributing to aviation
accidents. This theme gives highest priority to the factors that are
most strongly tied to accident and fatality rates, as well as those that
address multiple classes of hazards, including hazardous weather,
controlled flight into terrain, accidents and incidents caused by human
error, and mechanical or software malfunctions. The program develops and
integrates technologies needed to build a safer aviation system, to
support pilots and air traffic controllers, and to provide information
to assess situations and trends that might indicate unsafe conditions
before accidents occur. NASA develops, validates and transfers these
advanced concepts, technologies and procedures through a partnership
with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and in cooperation with
the U.S. aeronautics industry.
To enable increased capacity and mobility of the nation's air
transportation system, the Airspace Systems program develops and
demonstrates technology for revolutionary improvements to, and
modernization of, the air traffic management (ATM) system. The
technology enables new ATM decision support tools and airspace concepts
as well as new systems for aircraft whose operation can take advantage
of the improved, modern ATM system. The resultant benefit to the
traveling public will be reduced flight delays and shorter doorstep-to-
destination times. Users of the technologies that result from this
program include: the FAA, state and local airport authorities and their
systems suppliers, existing and new commercial and personal aviation
operators, and the aircraft developers and their system suppliers. This
program directly supports the FAA's ``Free Flight'' activities and the
Operational Evolution Plan (OEP) and maintains pace with a continually
evolving technical environment.
The Vehicle Systems program develops breakthrough technologies to
enable new capability and functionality in future aircraft. Technologies
from this program are then further developed in the Aviation Safety and
Security Program and the Airspace Systems program to reduce aircraft
emissions and noise, enable more people and goods to travel faster and
farther, and to increase air system safety and security. The Vehicle
Systems program also supports development of common advanced air vehicle
technologies with the DOD.
Education.--Since its establishment, NASA has served the Nation's
educational interests by sharing its unique mission, facilities,
personnel, and research results with inquisitive minds throughout the
United States and around the globe. The results have opened the minds of
people of all ages, races and background to the universe, new
technologies and expanded possibilities. As the 21st century begins, and
new national challenges are before us, it is appropriate that NASA re-
examine and re-energize the Agency's education mission and organization.
To that end, a NASA Education Office has been established as a new,
mission-focused organization that will aggregate NASA's education
programs, management and staff. This Office will position NASA to more
effectively leverage its resources to encourage student interest in
math, science, and technology education--to inspire the next generation
of explorers, as only NASA can.
The NASA Education Office will work toward achieving four
priorities: (1) motivating K-16+ students to pursue careers in science,
math and engineering; (2) providing educators with unique teaching tools
and compelling teaching experiences; (3) seeking to ensure that we are
investing the taxpayer's resources wisely; and (4) engaging minority and
underrepresented students, educators and researchers in NASA's education
program. An important and visible component of the NASA Education Office
is the Minority University Research and Education Program, insuring that
minority education programs are a high priority for the Agency.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the
capabilities that support Agency research, which consist of the Space
Flight and Crosscutting Technology Programs. The full costs include both
the direct and the indirect costs supporting these programs, and provide
for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and related
expenses; design, repair, rehabilitation, and modification of facilities
and construction of new facilities; maintenance and operation of
existing facilities; and other general and administrative activities
supporting Science, Aeronautics and Exploration programs. This account
includes activities that were previously funded in the Human Space
Flight and Science, Aeronautics, and Technology accounts.
Performance Objectives
Detailed performance goals associated with the Enabling Capabilities
activities are addressed in NASA's FY 2004 President's Budget. The
Enabling Capabilities activities include Space Flight and Crosscutting
Technology, and are described below.
Space Flight.--Space Flight encompasses the following themes:
International Space Station (ISS), Space Shuttle Program, and Space and
Flight Support.
The ISS is a complex of research laboratories in low Earth orbit
(LEO) in which American, Russian, Canadian, European, and Japanese
astronauts are conducting unique scientific and technological
investigations in a micro-gravity environment. The objectives of the
Station are to support scientific research and other activities
requiring the unique attributes of humans in space, and establish a
permanent
[[Page 959]]
human presence in Earth orbit. Program estimates have been determined to
be credible by independent assessment teams, however, concerns were
raised in regard to the sufficiency of funding levels to cover risks to
program performance and to expand research. To this end, the FY 2004
Budget request provides increased funding for continued development of
the vehicle and for operations in support of continued assembly,
logistics re-supply, crew exchange, research operations and other
utilization. With fourteen U.S. assembly and logistic missions
successfully completed, the budget includes funding to keep subsequent
assembly missions on schedule through U.S. Core Complete (Flight 10A),
currently planned for calendar year 2004, and to continue to expand
research opportunities commensurate with the build-up of on-orbit
utilization capabilities and resources.
The Space Shuttle Program plays a vital role in NASA's strategic
goal to advance human exploration, use, and development of space by
providing safe, routine access to space in support of permanent human
operations in Low Earth Orbit. NASA planning assumes the Space Shuttle
will need to be capable of supporting assembly and operation of the
Space Station for at least this decade. Specific program investments are
required in order to maintain this human transport capability through
this decade. These investments are consistent with NASA's strategy of
ensuring the Space Shuttle remains viable until a new transportation
system is operational. The FY 2004 budget request will allow NASA to
meet the intended flight rates, provide appropriate contingency planning
to assure transportation and assembly support to the ISS program and
include high priority projects for safety and supportability. These
projects will combat obsolescence of vehicles, ground systems, and
facilities, in order to maintain the program's safety and viability
through this decade.
Space and Flight Support is comprised of separate ``enabling
capabilities'' programs that provide on-going customer support for a
wide range of services including environmental activities, space
communications, Space Shuttle payloads processing, expendable launch
vehicles, and rocket propulsion systems testing. These services are
critical for the conduct of space exploration, aeronautical research and
physiological research. They are provided to a wide range of customers
including NASA, other U.S. federal agencies, foreign governments and
commercial interests. Space and Flight Support also includes the
Advanced Systems program, which will enable NASA to take a ``stepping
stone'' approach to future NASA missions through by advanced research
and technology development.
Crosscutting Technology.--The Aerospace Technology Enterprise
includes three themes in Crosscutting Technology: Space Launch
Initiative, Mission & Science Measurement Technology, and Innovative
Technology Partnerships.
The Space Launch Initiative (SLI) will develop the Orbital Space
Plan (OSP) to help assure safe, affordable, and reliable U.S.-based crew
access and return from the Space Station. The OSP will start as a crew
return vehicle, launched on an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV).
Initially, the OSP will provide crew return capability by 2010. By 2012,
the Orbital Space Plane will evolve to be flown on a human-rated EELV
and will transfer crew, and possibly limited cargo, to and from the
International Space Station. This capability will serve as a complement
and backup to the Space Shuttle for taking crew into space. Later, the
Orbital Space Plane could become the basis for a crew transfer vehicle
on a new reusable launch vehicle. Funds for the OSP will support an
aggressive effort to assess options and complete a preliminary design by
2005. If the Orbital Space Plane is approved for full-scale development,
the program will be managed in a streamlined approach to reduce the cost
of development and maintain an aggressive schedule. The Next Generation
Launch Technology (NGLT) program will be responsible for making the
investments relating to the next SLI goal, that focuses on making future
space transportation systems safer, more affordable, and more reliable.
NASA will make focused, strategic investments in key technology areas--
including propulsion, structures and operations--to be applied to both
reusable and expendable launch systems. The NGLT program will enable
future development decisions on launch systems that support NASA's space
transportation needs for the upcoming decades.
The Mission and Science Measurement Technology (MSM) theme enables
revolutionary capabilities through new technology. MSM objectives are to
develop science-driven architectures and technology, to create knowledge
from scientific data, and to develop capabilities for assessing and
managing mission risk. The advanced system concepts, fundamental
technologies, and engineering tools developed by MSM are unique to NASA
needs, and are applicable across many classes of missions in multiple
Enterprises. These products may require many years to progress from
initial concept definition to mission infusion. Three programs have been
formulated to accomplish MSM objectives: the Computing, Information, and
Communications Technologies (CICT) Program, that develops breakthrough
information and communication systems to increase our understanding of
scientific data and phenomena; the Engineering for Complex Systems (ECS)
Program, that develops the capabilities to assess and manage risk in the
synthesis of complex systems; and the Enabling Concepts and Technologies
(ECT) Program, that defines new system concepts, and develops new
technologies to enable new science measurements for the NASA
Enterprises.
NASA's Innovative Technology Partnership activities consist of:
Commercial Programs, Technology Transfer agents, the Enterprise Engine,
and the Small Business Research programs. In FY 2004, NASA will initiate
an orderly phase- out of the existing Commercial Technology Program, and
a new concept--the Enterprise Engine--will be introduced. The Enterprise
Engine will create partnerships between NASA, industrial firms and the
venture capital community to address NASA's new technology mission needs
through innovative technology development partnerships. NASA's Small
Business Research programs will continue. They include the Small
Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) programs, which were created by Congress, and promote
awards of NASA research contracts to the small business community and
promote commercialization of the products of this research by the small
business community. These programs help NASA develop innovative
technologies by providing competitive research contracts to U.S. owned
small businesses.

been included in a separate appropriation since 2001. Instead, those
``Mission Support'' activities are budgeted as part of the full costs
associated with projects in the Science, Aeronautics and Exploration
account or the Enabling Capabilities account (except for environmental
activities, which had previously been included in CoF, and is now
budgeted separately under Enabling Capabilities). This account shows
spending from balances prior to the account restructuring.

Administrative Provisions
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds
appropriated for ``Science, aeronautics and exploration'', or ``Space
flight capabilities'' by this appropriations Act, when any activity has
been initiated by the incurrence of obligations for construction of
facilities as authorized by law, such amount available for such activity
shall remain available until expended. This provision does not apply to
the amounts appropriated for institutional minor revitalization and
construction of facilities, and institutional facility planning and
design.
Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds
appropriated for ``Science, aeronautics and exploration'', or ``Space
flight capabilities'' by this appropriations Act, the amounts
appropriated for construction of facilities shall remain available until
September 30, 2006.
From amounts made available in this Act for these activities, the
Administration may transfer amounts between aeronautics of the
``Science, Aeronautics and Exploration'' account and crosscutting
technologies of the ``Space flight capabilities'' account.
Funds for announced prizes otherwise authorized shall remain
available, without fiscal year limitation, until the prize is claimed or
the offer is withdrawn.
The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to NASA for
activities for which funds are provided under this Act may be
transferred to the new account established for the appropriation that
provides such activity under this Act. Balances so transferred may be
merged with funds in the newly established account and thereafter may be
accounted for as one fund under the same terms and conditions.
