This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the
Exploration, Science and Aeronautics (ESA) 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 Exploration, Science and
Aeronautics programs.
Detailed performance goals associated with the Exploration, Science
and Aeronautics activities are addressed in NASA's FY 2005 Integrated
Budget and Performance Document.
Space science.--NASA's Space Science Enterprise 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 Enterprise achieves its objectives
through flight missions (e.g. robotic spacecraft), ground-based
scientific research and data analysis, and the development of new
technologies for future missions.
More than 30 Space Science spacecraft will be operating during FY
2005. These include astronomical telescopes, such as the Hubble Space
Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Spitzer Space
Telescope; interplanetary spacecraft to Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and
comets; and missions studying the Sun and its influence on Earth.
Research based on data from these missions will revolutionize our
understanding of the universe and our place in it, while continuing to
capture the imagination of the public, and especially schoolchildren.
In addition to Mars Exploration, which is augmented in this budget,
NASA will be working on a wide variety of exciting, previously approved
programs for launch after FY 2005. For example, the New Horizons mission
to Pluto and beyond will complete NASA's initial reconnaissance of the
solar systems. The Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) will
advance understanding of the Sun's corona (its outer ``atmosphere'') and
the origin of huge eruptions of solar material known as coronal mass
ejections. The Gamma-ray Large-Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will
investigate the high-energy world of black holes and neutron stars. And
in the next decade, the James Webb Space Telescope, the Laser
Interferometer Space Antenna, the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter, a new
generation of Mars missions, and others will provide unprecedented
potential for discovery.
Earth science.--NASA's Earth Science Enterprise contributes to the
Agency's mission to understand and protect our home planet by using our
view from space to study the Earth system and improve prediction of
Earth system change. The Earth Science Enterprise seeks to answer a
question of funda
[[Page 1044]]
mental importance to science and society: How is the Earth system
changing, and what are the consequences for life on Earth? In pursuit of
answers to 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 18 Earth observing satellites 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, NASA has defined two
strategic objectives corresponding with our two budget themes, Earth
System Science and Earth Science Applications: (1) observe, analyze, and
model the Earth system to discover how it is changing and the
consequences for life on Earth; and (2) expand and accelerate the
realization of economic and societal benefits from Earth science
information and technology.
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. NASA uses the global view from space to contribute to the
U.S. Government's Climate Change Science and Technology Programs. We
have identified key areas of investment that will enable us to reduce
the scientific 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 is used to address a variety of national
priorities, including economic issues and homeland security. Through the
Earth Science Applications theme, 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 Enterprise (BPRE) addresses the opportunities and challenges of
space flight through basic and applied research on the ground and in
space aboard the International Space Station. In concert with the new
exploration vision, NASA will refocus BPRE research on activities that
prepare human explorers to travel beyond low Earth orbit, such as the
development of countermeasures against space radiation and the long-term
effects of reduced gravity. BPRE consists of 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 of nature. The theme supports
NASA's mission to explore the universe and search for life both through
applied research to improve safety and efficiency of human space flight
and through exploratory research on the fundamental laws of nature.
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 conducts
fundamental biological research as an integral element of understanding
how space affects life. This theme also supports research to identify,
characterize, and control the physiological and psychological challenges
to human health associated with human space flight and space
exploration, including risks associated with exposure to radiation,
microgravity, and prolonged individual and group isolation. The theme
also includes research and development to improve the reliability and
performance of life support systems and interactions between the crew
and the spacecraft systems.
The FY 2005 budget reflects the priorities of the new national
vision for space exploration. The budget expands planned biomedical
research and countermeasures experiments, including the Human Research
Initiative and links all research to the Enterprise's strategic goals.
Aeronautics.--The Aeronautics Enterprise addresses three of NASA's
goals through the Aeronautics Technology theme. To achieve the goal of
``enabling a safer, more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly
air transportation system'', the theme conducts research and develops
enabling technology that will: reduce 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 in developing these technologies. 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 Homeland Security, 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 NASA's goal to ``enable
revolutionary capabilities through new technology.''
Aeronautics Technology consists of three integrated programs. The
Aviation Safety and Security Program directly addresses the safety and
security research & technology development needs of the nation's
aviation system to either prevent both unintentional and intentional
actions that would cause damage, harm, and loss of life or mitigate the
consequences when these types of situations occur. The Airspace Systems
Program conducts research and technology development that will enable
revolutionary improvements to, and modernization of, the National
Airspace System, as well as the introduction of new systems for vehicles
whose operation can take advantage of the improved, modern air traffic
management system. The Vehicle Systems Program develops enabling
technologies that will produce future vehicles that are environmentally
friendly, quieter, faster, more efficient, and technologically superior
and/or support science missions and commercial applications requiring
high altitude, long endurance, and remote operations.
Education.--The Education Enterprise plays the leading role in
NASA's mission to inspire the next generation of explorers. From the
excitement of the launch countdown to awe-inspiring images of planets
and galaxies, aeronautics and space exploration can ignite imaginations
young and old. The journey to space, however, does not start at the
launch pad--it starts in the classroom. The NASA mission--to understand,
explore, and inspire--depends upon people with the ingenuity to invent
new tools, the passion to solve problems, and the courage to ask
difficult questions. Inspiring the next generation of scientists,
technologists, engineers, and educators
[[Page 1045]]
means engaging the education community and inviting them to participate
in our ongoing work and process of discovery.
To this end, the Education Enterprise works to inspire and motivate
students at all levels to pursue careers in the fields of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as teaching.
The Enterprise partners with academic institutions, professional
education associations, industry, and other Government agencies to
provide teachers and faculty with the experiences that capitalize on the
excitement of NASA's discoveries to spark their students' interest and
involvement. The Enterprise provides students with opportunities for
involvement in NASA's vast research efforts to promote the STEM
disciplines and encourage them to pursue higher education at the
graduate and doctoral levels. Finally, The Enterprise engages the public
in the experiences of exploration and discovery.
NASA's strategy to accomplish its goals in education involves the
achievement of four objectives: (1) Increase the number of elementary
and secondary students and teachers who are involved in NASA-related
education opportunities; (2) support higher education research
capability and opportunities that attract and prepare increasing numbers
of students and faculty for NASA-related careers; (3) increase the
number and diversity of students, teachers, faculty, and researchers
from underrepresented and underserved communities in NASA-related STEM
fields; and (4) increase student, teacher, and public access to NASA
education resources via the establishment of e-Education as a principal
learning support system. NASA engages the public in the experience of
exploration and discovery by improving public understanding of science
and technology, including NASA aerospace technology, research, and
exploration missions.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the
capabilities that support Agency research, which consist of the
Exploration Systems and Space Flight Enterprises. 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 Exploration Capabilities programs.
Detailed performance goals associated with the Exploration
Capabilities activities are addressed in NASA's FY 2005 Integrated
Budget and Performance Document. The Exploration Capabilities activities
include Space Flight and Exploration Systems, 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, and international astronauts are conducting
unique scientific and technological investigations in a micro-gravity
environment. The objectives of the ISS program are to support on-orbit
scientific research and other activities that require human
participation. In concert with the new exploration vision, NASA will
refocus U.S. Space Station research on activities that prepare human
explorers to travel beyond low Earth orbit, such as the development of
countermeasures against space radiation and the long-term effects of
reduced gravity. Over the past two years, the program has re-established
cost control credibility and is positioned to address enhancements
needed to expand ISS research capabilities. Flight hardware required to
support the launch of all assembly elements has been delivered to the
launch site and is undergoing integrated test and acceptance. The
Columbia accident delayed completion of ISS assembly and introduced
additional cost risk to the program. The FY 2005 Budget provides funding
for the completion of ground development activities, resumption of
vehicle on-orbit assembly with a crew of three, logistics re-supply and
crew exchange using the Space Shuttle, resumption of research payload
and experiment deliveries to orbit, and reserves sufficient to address
Columbia-related impacts. Prior to the accident, sixteen U.S. assembly
and logistic missions were successfully completed. Completion of the
U.S. Core configuration is expected to occur 17 to 18 months after
Shuttle return to flight.
The Space Shuttle has served as the centerpiece of the Nation's
human space flight program for more than 20 years. This vehicle is the
workhorse for Space Station assembly and remains instrumental for the
laboratory's completion. Consequently, NASA will return the Shuttle to
service to complete the Space Station, doing so with safety as its top
priority and based on the Columbia Accident Investigation Board's
recommendations. But because the aging system remains costly to operate,
lacks some safety capabilities that could be incorporated into future
systems, and lacks the capability to fly beyond low Earth orbit, NASA
plans to retire the Shuttle at the end of this decade, once its role in
Space Station assembly is complete. The FY 2005 budget 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 programs that provide on-
going customer support for a wide range of services including
environmental activities, space communications, Launch Services, and
rocket propulsion systems testing. These services are provided to a wide
range of customers including NASA, other Federal agencies, foreign
governments and commercial interests.
Exploration systems.--The Exploration Systems Enterprise includes
three new themes that will function cooperatively to enable sustainable
exploration and scientific discovery in the solar system. The themes are
Lunar Exploration, Human and Robotic Technology, and Transportation
Systems. The themes in the new Exploration Systems Enterprise
incorporate three themes that were formerly in the Aerospace Technology
Enterprise: Space Launch Initiative, Mission and Science Measurement,
and Innovative Technology Transfer Partnerships.
The Lunar Exploration (LE) theme will define requirements for a
planetary surface exploration architecture that will be tested on the
lunar surface, assigning functions to humans and robots based on their
respective capabilities and characteristics. The specific number,
frequency, duration, sizes and types of human lunar missions and systems
will be determined based on which capabilities require demonstration at
the moon, operational concepts for future human and robotic Mars
exploration, and research results from ongoing Mars robotic missions.
The Lunar Exploration Theme will develop and conduct robotic missions
beginning in 2008 to test system capabilities, gather engineering data
for future systems development, identify resources, and characterize the
operating environment at the lunar surface. These precursor missions
will lay a foundation for human missions to the Moon in the next decade
that will demonstrate how humans and robots work together as integrated
elements of the architecture that will be used to explore Mars and other
destinations in the years to come. These human and robotic missions to
the moon will also seek to address lunar science priorities.
The Human and Robotic Technology (HRT) theme represents NASA's
commitment to investing in the technologies and capabilities that will
make the national vision for space exploration possible. Through applied
technology research, focused technology maturation, and timely
technology transition, the HRT theme will develop technologies that can
be integrated into missions in the LE theme and applied by other NASA's
enterprises. Working with NASA and non-NASA researchers and
technologists, through directed investments and innovative partnerships,
the HRT theme will advance a range of high-leverage technologies and
space operations concepts, mature and validate key technologies, and
transition them into applications to enable safe, affordable and
sustainable human and robotic exploration of the solar system. The HRT
theme will work closely with other government agencies, industry,
academia and potential international partners to leverage common
requirements and identify innovative ideas. The HRT theme incorporates
activities and funds from the former Mission and Science Measurement
theme and the former Innovative Technology Transfer Partnerships theme,
including the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small
Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) programs.
The Transportation Systems (TS) theme will provide crew transfer
capabilities as an integral element of a developing architecture to
support exploration missions to the Moon,
[[Page 1047]]
Mars and beyond. The activities of the TS theme will be focused on the
objective of developing and demonstrating a vehicle to provide crew
transportation for missions beyond low Earth orbit. NASA will conduct
the initial test flight of this vehicle before the end of this decade in
order to provide an operational capability to support human exploration
missions beyond low Earth orbit no later than 2014. The TS theme
incorporates remaining funds from the former Space Launch Initiative
theme.

NASA's ``Human Space Flight'' account included the International
Space Station; Payload and ELV Support; Human Exploration and
Development of Space Investments and Support; Space Communications and
Data Systems; and Safety, Mission Assurance and Engineering). In FY
2004, these activities--except for Safety, Mission Assurance and
Engineering, which was allocated as an indirect charge to all programs--
along with the Crosscutting Technologies portion of the Aerospace
Technology Enterprise, were included under the ``Space Flight
Capabilities'' account. Beginning in FY 2005, the ``Space Flight
Capabilities'' account has been renamed the ``Exploration Capabilities''
account. This account shows spending from balances prior to the account
restructuring.

NASA's ``Mission Support'' account included Research and Program
Management and Construction of Facilities (CoF), which have not 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 Exploration, Science and Aeronautics
account or the Exploration Capabilities account (except for
environmental activities, which had previously been included in CoF, and
is now budgeted separately under Exploration Capabilities). This account
shows spending from balances prior to the account restructuring.
From 1995 to 2003, CoF activities were included in Human Space
Flight; Science, Aeronautics and Technology; and Mission Support.
Beginning in 2004, NASA's CoF activities were performed in the Science,
Aeronautics and Exploration or Enabling Capabilities accounts. Beginning
in FY 2005, the Science, Aeronautics and Exploration account has been
renamed the ``Exploration, Science and Aeronautics'' account and the
``Space Flight Capabilities'' account has been renamed the ``Exploration
Capabilities'' account. 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'']
``Exploration, science, and aeronautics'', or [``Space Exploration
flight capabilities''] ``Exploration capabilities'' by this
appropriations Act, when any activity has been initiated by the
incurrence of obligations for construction of facilities or
environmental compliance and restoration activities 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'']
``Exploration, science, and aeronautics'', or [``Space flight]
``Exploration capabilities'' by this appropriations Act, the amounts
appropriated for construction of facilities shall remain available until
September 30, [2006] 2007.
From amounts made available in this Act for these activities, the
Administration may transfer amounts between [aeronautics of] the
[``Science, aeronautics and exploration''] ``Exploration, science, and
aeronautics'' account and [crosscutting technologies of] the [``Space
flight] ``Exploration 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. (Division
G, H.R. 2673, Consolidated Appropriations Bill, FY 2004.)
