    This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the 
Science, Aeronautics and Exploration (SAE) activities of the Agency, 
which consist of the programs, or ``themes,'' within the Science Mission 
Directorate, Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, Aeronautics 
Research Mission Directorate and the Office of Education. (Last year, 
Exploration Systems was in the Exploration Capabilities appropriation.) 
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; and other general and administrative activities supporting 
the themes within SAE.

    Detailed performance goals associated with the SAE activities are 
addressed in NASA's chapter in the 2006 Budget volume. The SAE 
activities are described below.

    Science.--NASA's Science Mission Directorate now encompass three 
themes: Earth-Sun System, Solar System Exploration, and Universe. The 
integration of the former Earth and Space Science Enterprises positions 
NASA's science endeavors to support and benefit from the President's 
vision for space exploration, while providing opportunities to maximize 
investments. The Directorate seeks to answer fundamental scientific 
questions concerning the galaxy and the universe; connections among the 
Sun, Earth and other planets of the solar system; the way in which 
Earth's climate is changing; comparisons of Earth with other planets in 
our solar system and around other stars; the origin and evolution of 
planetary systems; and the origin and distribution of life in the 
universe. The Directorate achieves its objectives

[[Page 1074]]

through robotic spacecraft missions, ground-based scientific research 
and data analysis, and the development of new technologies for future 
missions.

    Life on Earth prospers in a biosphere and climate powered by energy 
from the Sun and moderated by water and carbon cycles. Working with 
domestic and international partners, NASA provides accurate, objective 
scientific data and analysis to advance understanding of Earth-Sun 
system processes and phenomena. NASA's contributions enable improved 
prediction and response capabilities for climate, weather, natural 
hazards, and even human-induced disasters. Employing nearly 30 Earth- or 
Sun-observing satellites that routinely make measurements with over 100 
remote sensing instruments, NASA's goal is to continue using the view 
from space to study the Earth system and improve prediction of Earth 
system changes, solar variability and the connection between the two. In 
seeking to understand the Sun, heliosphere, and planetary environments 
as a single, connected system, NASA will pursue two sets of missions: 
Solar Terrestrial Probe missions to address fundamental science 
questions about the physics of plasma and the flow of mass and energy in 
the solar system, and Living With a Star missions to develop specific 
knowledge and understanding of those aspects of the Sun-Earth system 
that directly affect life and society. The Solar Terrestrial Relations 
Observatory (STEREO) will advance our understanding of the Sun's corona, 
or outer ``atmosphere,'' and the origin of huge eruptions of solar 
material known as coronal mass ejections. Under Living With a Star, the 
Solar Dynamics Observatory will observe the solar interior and 
atmosphere continuously from geosynchronous orbit to determine the 
causes of solar variability. Its images will provide full-disc views of 
the sun with four times the resolution of those currently available.

    In the next few decades, NASA will deepen our understanding of the 
solar system, with spacecraft fanning out to destinations from the 
innermost planet to the very edge of our Sun's influence. Some will stay 
in Earth's orbit; others will follow looping, one-way trajectories 
through the gravitational forces of the planets, and a few will come 
back carrying priceless souvenirs from other worlds. Our intensive 
investigation of Mars will continue, from above and on the surface, with 
a new generation of missions; advanced robotic missions such as the 2009 
Mars Science Laboratory are critical to the vision for space 
exploration. The past year's successful investigations of Mars and 
Saturn will be followed by spacecraft bound for the planets Mercury and 
Pluto, completing NASA's initial reconnaissance of our solar system. 
NASA will also visit the Kuiper Belt, the suspected source of comets and 
other icy bodies that lies predominantly beyond Pluto's orbit, to 
investigate the primordial substances which evolved into the solar 
system.

    To answer important scientific questions about the nature of the 
universe, NASA will continue to operate its prolific Hubble, Chandra, 
and Spitzer space telescopes, while planning a series of future missions 
linked by powerful new technologies and complementary approaches to 
shared science goals. These missions will enhance our ability over the 
next decade and a half to find planets around other stars and peer deep 
into the history of the universe and improve our understanding of its 
structure. The Gamma-ray Large-Area Space Telescope will investigate the 
high-energy world of black holes and neutron stars, while the Laser 
Interferometer Space Antenna will detect gravitational waves generated 
by stars and black holes throughout the universe. The Space 
Interferometry Mission (SIM) will allow indirect detection of planets 
through observation of thousands of stars and will investigate the 
structure of planetary disks. SIM will also demonstrate unprecedented 
astronomical accuracy and high spatial resolution and will serve as a 
technological precursor to the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a mission that 
will search for Earth-like planets around stars. The James Webb Space 
Telescope will study the earliest galaxies and stars formed after the 
Big Bang.

    Exploration systems.--The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate 
includes four themes that will collaboratively enable sustainable 
exploration and scientific discovery in our solar system. The themes are 
Constellation Systems, Exploration Systems Research and Technology, 
Human Systems Research and Technology, and Prometheus Nuclear Systems 
and Technology. The organization of the Mission Directorate into these 
four themes reflects, in part, the need to keep some existing 
organizational structures in place as programs are incorporated into the 
Exploration Systems Mission Directorate. This organization may change as 
implementation of the vision for space exploration progresses.

    Through the Constellation Systems theme NASA will develop, 
demonstrate, and deploy the transportation, life support, and surface 
systems that will enable sustained human and robotic exploration of the 
Moon, Mars, and beyond. These include the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) 
for the transport and support of human crews traveling to destinations 
beyond low Earth orbit, as well as launch vehicles for transport of the 
CEV and cargo to LEO, and any ground support infrastructure for 
communications and operations. These systems, collectively known as the 
``system of systems'' will be developed in a ``spiral'' approach, 
wherein early demonstrations and prototypes are used to demonstrate 
capabilities, validate technologies, and mitigate risk, all along an 
evolutionary path toward an operational capability. The planned first 
spiral development will provide the capability to deliver humans to 
orbit in a CEV by 2014. The second spiral will deliver humans to the 
lunar surface by 2020, followed by the third spiral, which will enable 
extended visits on the lunar surface. As spiral development evolves, 
system of systems elements will grow to include in-space support 
systems, destination surface systems, and additional human support 
systems.

    The Exploration Systems Research and Technology theme represents 
NASA's commitment to investing in the technologies and capabilities that 
will enable the vision for space exploration. The goals of solar system 
exploration will demand a robust, ongoing commitment to focused 
innovation that will benefit activities across the Agency. Through a 
focused research and development effort NASA will develop technologies 
planned to mature at intervals allowing pre-planned integration into 
different spirals and different missions. NASA is working closely with 
other government agencies, industry, academia, and other partners to 
leverage common requirements and identify innovative ideas. As part of 
this effort, the theme includes the Centennial Challenges program, an 
effort to establish a series of annual prizes for revolutionary, 
breakthrough accomplishments that advance solar system exploration and 
other NASA priorities. The other programs within this theme are the 
Advanced Space Technology Program, the Technology Maturation Program, 
and the Innovative Partnerships Program.

    The Human Systems Research and Technology (HSRT) theme comprises 
programs and research formerly conducted as part of NASA's Biological 
and Physical Research Enterprise. HSRT research and development is 
focused on supporting the goals associated with the vision for space 
exploration. Programs within this theme advance knowledge and technology 
critical for supporting long-term human survival and performance during 
operations beyond low Earth orbit, with a focus on improving medical 
care and human health maintenance. HSRT comprises three programs: Human 
Health and Performance; Life Support and Habitation; and

[[Page 1075]]

Human Systems Integration. The Human Health and Performance program 
conducts research on questions about human biology and physiology 
relevant to the human exploration of the solar system, and delivers 
technology to help maintain or improve human health in the space 
environment. The Life Support and Habitation program conducts research 
and develops technology for life support and other critical systems for 
spacecraft operations. The Human Systems Integration program focuses on 
optimizing human-machine interaction in the operation of spacecraft 
systems.

    Prometheus Nuclear Systems Research and Technology is NASA's effort 
to develop nuclear power systems that can transform our ability to 
explore the solar system. Historically, space exploration has been 
limited by the power available from converting light from the Sun into 
energy. On planetary surfaces and in locations distance from the Sun, 
solar power is sometimes insufficient. Radioisotope power systems, a 
passive form of nuclear power, have addressed this issue and enabled a 
wide range of outer planetary exploration missions over the past 40 
years, as evidenced by the Galileo and Cassini spacecraft, but the power 
levels of these systems are very limited. The development of a new space 
nuclear capability can enable more sophisticated, more capable robotic 
spacecraft as well as robust systems that may be needed to support 
larger-scale operations on the surfaces of the Moon and Mars. While high 
costs and technical concerns prompted NASA to defer a nuclear-powered 
mission to study Jupiter's icy moons, the agency will start on a new 
nuclear technology demonstrator with direct applications to exploration.

    Aeronautics research.--The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate 
seeks to provide advanced aeronautical technologies to meet the 
challenges of next generation systems in aviation for civilian and 
scientific purposes. The Directorate 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; enable more people and goods to travel faster and 
farther with fewer delays; and result in revolutionary earth and space 
science missions and opportunities for economic growth. NASA works 
closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of 
Homeland Security, industry, academia, and other governmental agencies 
in developing these technologies.

    The Aeronautics Technology Theme consists of three integrated 
programs. NASA is transforming its aeronautics program to emphasize 
development and demonstration of technologies critical to the Nation's 
future aviation requirements, in areas where NASA has unique 
capabilities. The Aviation Safety and Security Program conducts research 
and technology development for the nation's aviation system to prevent 
unintentional and intentional actions that would cause damage, harm, and 
loss of life, and to mitigate the consequences of such actions, should 
they 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 will develop the technologies and conduct flight 
demonstrations of the high risk, high payoff concepts that industry, 
with its focus on the near-term, does not fund.

    Education.--NASA works to inspire and motivate students at all 
levels to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics (STEM), while also engaging the education 
community to reach this goal. NASA's objectives include: providing 
elementary and secondary students and teachers with NASA-related 
education opportunities; supporting higher education research capability 
and opportunities that attract and prepare students and faculty for 
NASA-related careers; providing students, teachers, faculty, and 
researchers from underrepresented and underserved communities with 
opportunities in NASA-related STEM fields; and increasing student, 
teacher, and public access to NASA education resources by developing and 
deploying innovative technology applications platforms. NASA engages the 
public in shaping and sharing 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 
Exploration Capabilities activities of the Agency, which includes the 
Space Station, Space Shuttle, and Space and Flight Support themes within 
the Space Operations Mission Directorate. (Exploration Systems, which 
last year was in the Exploration Capabilities appropriation, has been 
moved to the Science, Aeronautics, and Exploration appropriation.) The 
full costs include both the direct and 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; and other 
general and administrative activities supporting the themes within 
Exploration Capabilities.

    Detailed performance goals associated with Exploration Capabilities 
activities are addressed in NASA's chapter in the 2006 Budget volume. 
Exploration Capabilities encompasses the following themes: International 
Space Station, Space Shuttle Program, and Space and Flight Support.

    International Space Station.--The International Space Station (ISS) 
is a complex of research laboratories in low Earth orbit in which 
American and international astronauts are conducting scientific and 
technological investigations in a micro-gravity environment. The primary 
objective of the ISS is to support the President's vision for space 
exploration. The ISS is still under construction and NASA is examining 
how best to complete it in a manner that meets the requirements of the 
vision and the ISS international partners while using as few Shuttle 
flights as possible. This reexamination is critical to fielding a space 
station that adequately supports exploration and allows the Shuttle to 
be retired in 2010 as planned.

    Space Shuttle operations are expected to begin in the late spring of 
2005 and construction of the ISS is planned to resume after the 
successful launch of two Shuttle logistics missions to the station. The 
2006 Budget request provides funding for the continuation of ISS launch 
processing activities, the resumption of vehicle on-orbit assembly with 
a crew of three, logistics re-supply and crew exchange using the Space 
Shuttle, continuation of research payload and experiment deliveries to 
orbit, and reserves sufficient to address unexpected technical issues 
that may arise as the program returns to assembly. The 2006 Budget 
request also includes funding for development of habitability 
modifications and completion of the regenerative environmental control 
and life support system needed to increase the station's crew capacity, 
consistent with human space exploration research requirements. The 
request also includes funds to initiate procurement of crew and cargo 
delivery services to support ISS logistics needs. These services are key 
to ensuring the ISS's viability both leading up to and following the 
Shuttle's retirement.

    Space Shuttle.--The Space Shuttle program's primary mission is to 
assemble the ISS. In 2010, the Space Shuttle--

[[Page 1077]]

after nearly 30 years of duty--will be retired from service. NASA is 
currently determining how many Shuttle flights will be required to 
complete an ISS configuration that meets the needs of both the space 
exploration vision and the international partners using as few Shuttle 
flights as possible. The 2006 Budget request assumes the Space Shuttle 
will return to flight in late spring of 2005. It provides for specific 
program investments for vehicle safety and supportability needed to 
maintain a viable Shuttle fleet through retirement. The 2006 Budget 
request will allow NASA to provide appropriate contingency resources to 
combat flight hardware obsolescence, maintain ground systems and 
facilities, and initiate early actions for an orderly phase-out of the 
program.

    Space and flight support.--The Space and Flight Support Theme 
comprises separate programs that provide ongoing customer support for 
critical NASA services including Space Communications, Launch Services, 
Rocket Propulsion Testing, and Crew Health and Safety. These services 
support a wide range of customers including NASA, other federal 
agencies, foreign governments, and commercial interests. Funds for 
environmental remediation, which were previously requested in this 
theme, are now bookkept as part of NASA's corporate general and 
administrative (G&A) funds.

                        Administrative Provisions

    Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of funds 
appropriated for ``Science, aeronautics and exploration'', or 
``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'', or 
``Exploration capabilities'' by this appropriations Act, the amounts 
appropriated for construction of facilities shall remain available until 
September 30, [2007] 2008.
    [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 but shall 
remain available for the same period of time as originally 
appropriated.]
    From amounts made available in this Act for these activities, 
subject to [the] operating plan [procedures] notification of the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Administrator may transfer 
amounts between the ``Science, aeronautics, and exploration'' account 
and the ``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. [Funding shall not be made available for 
Centennial Challenges unless authorized.
    Funding made available under the headings ``Exploration 
capabilities'' and ``Science, aeronautics, and exploration'' in this Act 
shall be governed by the terms and conditions specified in the statement 
of managers except to the extent changes are made in accordance with the 
operating plan procedures of the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations.] (Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2005.)
