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,
Exploration Systems, and Aeronautics Research Mission Directorates and
Cross-Agency Support Programs. (Education Programs is now an element of
Cross-Agency Support Programs.) The full costs include both direct and
indirect costs supporting these programs, which provide for all of the
research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses;
design, repair, rehabilitation, 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 detailed budget request, and summaries of these
activities are in the NASA chapter of the 2007 Budget volume. The SAE
activities are described below.
Science.--NASA's Science Mission Directorate encompasses three
themes: Earth-Sun System, Solar System Exploration, and Universe. The
Directorate seeks to answer fundamental questions concerning the galaxy
and the universe; the connections among the Sun, Earth and heliosphere;
the ways in which Earth's climate is changing; the comparison 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 through flight missions (e.g. robotic spacecraft), 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 the
domestic and international partners, NASA provides accurate, objective,
scientific data and analysis to advance understanding of Earth-Sun
system processes and phenomena. This enables improved prediction and re
[[Page 1066]]
sponse capabilities for climate, weather, natural hazards, and even
human-induced disasters. Employing a constellation of about 30 Earth or
Sun observing satellites routinely making measurements with about 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 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 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
(its 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 global 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 mystery-unlocking souvenirs from other worlds. Our
intensive investigation of Mars will continue, from orbit and on the
surface, with a new generation of missions, including the Phoenix lander
(August 2007 launch) and the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory rover.
The Cassini Saturn orbiter will continue to return stunning images
and revise our understanding of the ringed planet and its moons.
Meanwhile, the Messenger mission to Mercury and the New Horizons mission
to Pluto will complete NASA's initial reconnaissance of our solar
system. We will also study the Kuiper Belt, and the comets that come
from it, to investigate the primordial substances which evolved into the
solar system.
Perplexing and important questions guide our quest to understand the
secrets of the universe:
How did the Universe begin?
Does time have a beginning and an end?
Where did we come from?
Are we alone?
To answer these questions, 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 to find planets around other stars and peer deep
into the history of the universe and improve our understanding of its
structure. The Kepler mission will enable the discovery of Earth-size
and smaller planets around other stars. The Gamma-ray Large-Area Space
Telescope (GLAST) will investigate the high-energy world of black holes
and neutron stars. 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. The James Webb Space Telescope will study the earliest
galaxies and some of the first stars formed after the Big Bang.
Exploration systems.--The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate
(ESMD) includes three themes that work together to enable sustainable
exploration and scientific discovery in our solar system. The themes are
Constellation Systems, Exploration Systems Research and Technology, and
Human Systems Research and Technology.
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 (LEO), as well as launch vehicles for transport
of the CEV and cargo to LEO, and any ground support infrastructure for
communications and operations.
The Constellation Systems theme is responsible for developing
capabilities essential to making the nation's Vision for Space
Exploration a reality. Constellation Systems supports NASA's mission to
explore the universe and search for life by developing the
transportation and supporting systems to extend human presence to the
Moon, Mars, and beyond. A human presence will enable scientific
activities and discoveries not obtainable with robotic explorers.
The program is established to achieve the goals laid out by the
President in his January 2004 speech, and will do so by developing the
architecture and vehicle systems outlined in the 2005 Exploration
Systems Architecture Study (ESAS). Further analysis and refinement of
the ESAS results will continue under the direction of the ESMD. Initial
Constellation Systems capabilities include the CEV, Crew Launch Vehicle
(CLV), Extravehicular Activity suits and tools required by the flight
crews, and associated ground and mission operations infrastructure.
These systems are intended to support exploration, but in their initial
test phases will support Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions including crew
transportation to the International Space Station (ISS). The CEV will
also be capable of delivering some cargo to the ISS, although this will
be a backup to commercial systems.
An important element of Constellation Systems is the commercial
crew/cargo project. The Vision for Space Exploration called for NASA to
pursue commercial opportunities for providing transportation to the
International Space Station. The crew/cargo program is intended to spur
private industry to provide cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit,
allowing NASA to focus its internal resources on exploration.
Following the initial capabilities, Constellation Systems will
develop crew capabilities for a lunar surface mission by 2020. These
capabilities include: a Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle (HLLV), leveraging
engineering design and capabilities from the Shuttle Program; an Earth
Departure Stage (EDS) to provide the momentum required to propel the CEV
from LEO to Lunar Orbit; a Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM) to safely
transport astronauts to and from the lunar surface; and systems,
capabilities, and support for extended human stays on the lunar surface.
Future development will provide crew, cargo transportation and
destination support capabilities required for human exploration of Mars
and beyond.
The Exploration Systems Research and Technology (ESRT) theme is
NASA's investment in the technologies and capabilities that will make
the national vision for space exploration possible. The goals of solar
system exploration will be the primary focus of exploration systems
research and technology, and 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 al
[[Page 1067]]
lowing pre-planned integration in support of evolving missions.
Within ESRT there are five programs: Advanced Space Technology,
Technology Maturation, Centennial Challenges, Robotic Lunar Exploration
and Prometheus (previously a separate theme). The Advanced Space
Technology Program develops new high leverage technologies and concepts.
The Technical Maturation Program develops near term technologies for
human robotic exploration and assures their timely transition into
exploration systems mission development programs. The Centennial
Challenges Program establishes awards to stimulate innovative technical
accomplishments that could advance the state of civil space exploration
and aeronautics. The Robotic Lunar Exploration Program develops
precursor missions to characterize the lunar environment. The Prometheus
program develops nuclear technologies for power and propulsion. NASA is
working closely with other government agencies, industry, academia and
other partners to leverage common requirements and identify innovative
ideas.
The Human Systems Research and Technology (HSRT) theme focuses on
ensuring the health, safety, and productivity of humans as we embark on
missions of exploration in our solar system. Programs within this theme
advance knowledge and technology critical for supporting long-term human
survival and performance during operations beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO),
with a focus on improving medical care and human health maintenance.
Within HSRT there are three programs: Human Health and Performance
(HHP); Life Support and Habitation (LSH); and Human Systems Integration
(HSI). The HHP program delivers 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 LSH program conducts research and develops
technology for life support and other critical systems for spacecraft
operations. The HSI program focuses on optimizing human-machine
interaction in the operation of spacecraft systems.
Aeronautics research.--NASA aeronautics was built on the tradition
of building expertise in the core disciplines of aeronautics and has
been at the forefront of many major advances in the science of flight.
NASA scientists and engineers have built a substantial base of
knowledge and the analytic tools and capabilities to perform more
exacting work to close the gap between experimental and theoretical
knowledge. NASA has become the nation's leading government organization
for aeronautical research, with a charter to develop an integrated
strategy that addresses the challenges in aviation by developing
technological solutions that will enable a bold new era in aviation.
Although NASA is refocusing the Aeronautics Program to place greater
emphasis on long-term investments in founda- tional research, we are
maintaining our long-standing commitment to benefit the American public
by developing technologies that accomplish the following goals:
1. Make the nation's current and future air transportation system
even safer;
2. Protect local air quality and our global climate;
3. Reduce aircraft noise to benefit airport neighbors, the aviation
industry, and travelers;
4. Enable the movement of more air passengers with fewer delays; and
5. Enable people to travel faster and farther, anywhere, anytime.
NASA's Aeronautics theme consists of three integrated research
programs as well as an Aeronautics Test Program that preserves critical
NASA wind tunnel infrastructure.
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program will conduct research
and develop technology to enable revolutionary capabilities for the
future of aviation. We will develop advanced tools and capabilities that
will enable whole new classes of aircraft that not only meet the noise
and emissions requirements of the future but that also provide fast,
efficient, and economical flight.
The revectored Aviation Safety Program will focus NASA
research on improving the inherent safety attributes of aircraft in
order to eliminate fatal accidents and enhancing the safety of the
nation's current and future national air transportation system.
The Airspace Systems Program is being realigned to directly
address the needs of the Next Generation Air Transportation System
(NGATS) initiative as defined by the Federal Aviation Administration and
NASA within the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO). NGATS
research will enable major increases in the capacity and mobility of the
U.S. air transportation system through development of technologies,
capabilities, and future concepts.
The Aeronautics Test Program is a new Aeronautics program that will
ensure the strategic availability of a critical suite of wind tunnels
which are deemed necessary to meet Aeronautics, Agency, and National
needs.
Cross-agency support programs.--Cross-Agency Support Programs
includes four single-program themes that encompass several ongoing
activities and an improved model for managing NASA's unique facilities.
The themes are Education, Advanced Business Systems, Integrated
Enterprise Management Program, Innovative Partnerships Program, and
Shared Capability Assets Program.
Education at 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.
The Integrated Enterprise Management Program (IEMP) was placed in
the new Advanced Business Systems theme beginning in FY 2006 as a direct
funded program versus being funded within Corporate and Center General
and Administrative (G&A) expenses.
IEMP is a large and complex initiative changing the way financial
and business management is performed throughout NASA. Center and/or
Directorate unique approaches are being replaced with a single set of
standard integrated business processes. Each and every NASA employee
will be impacted by these changes. New IEMP systems are improving
business processes by minimizing data redundancy, standardizing
information and electronic data exchanges, processing and recording
financial events effectively and efficiently, and ensuring consistent
information throughout the Agency. IEMP consists of functional projects
that effect business process changes and that acquire and implement
appropriate information technology tools to substantially improve the
Agency's performance. The program, reformulated in March 2000, will
complete implementation in FY 2008. IEMP is composed of multiple
projects. The following projects are completed and implemented: Resume
Management, Position Description Management, Travel Management, Core
Financials, Program Management Information Improvement, and Labor
Distribution System. The following projects are in planning or devel
[[Page 1068]]
opment: SAP Upgrade, Contract Management, and Integrated Asset
Management.
NASA's Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) is undergoing
transition to improve value provided to NASA. The mission of the new IPP
is to provide leveraged technology alternatives for NASA's mission
directorates, programs, and projects through joint partnerships with
industry, academia, government agencies, and national laboratories.
Products of the IPP include: leveraged technology investments, dual-use
technology-related partnerships, and secured Intellectual Property
assets. IPP partnerships serve to increase the range of technology
solutions for NASA, enable cost avoidance, and accelerate technology
maturation. IPP consists of the following program elements: Technology
Transfer (T2), Space Products Development (SPD), Small Business
Innovative Research (SBIR)/ Small Business Technology Transfer Program
(STTR), and four of NASA's University Research Engineering & Technology
Institutes (URETI). Together these increase NASA's connection to
emerging technologies in the external communities, enable targeted
positioning of NASA's technology portfolio in selected areas, and secure
NASA's Intellectual Property to provide fair access and to support
NASA's strategic goals. Dual-use partnerships and licensing also create
socio-economic benefits within the broader community.
NASA established a new Shared Capability Assets Program, a
corporately managed program, to ensure that its key capabilities and
assets will continue to be available to support the missions that
require them. Additionally, NASA will use this new program to identify
and prioritize its critical assets and make strategic investment
decisions to replace, modify, or disposition them based on NASA and/or
national needs. NASA's Real Property Management Plan, which is approved
by the Office of Management and Budget, supports NASA's goal of
preserving key capabilities and assets that are critical to NASA's
current and future missions.
NASA has identified four specific key capability/asset classes that
should be addressed initially to ensure that NASA retains the needed
specialized assets and skills required to implement NASA's missions.
These are wind tunnels, rocket propulsion testing, thermal vacuum
chambers, and high performance computing capabilities. NASA has assessed
the requirements in three of the initial four asset classes: wind
tunnels, rocket propulsion testing, and high performance computing
capabilities. While funding for these asset classes is in the mission
directorates (wind tunnel in Aeronautics, rocket propulsion testing in
Space Operations, and high performance computing capabilities in
Science) all asset classes are managed in an integrated manner by the
program. The requirements assessment for thermal vacuum chambers and
decision as to location of funding are still in progress. After
nomination, review, and selection by the Agency, assets and/or asset
classes will be added to or withdrawn from the Shared Capability Assets
Program account based on an overall prioritization and balance among the
assets being considered, and within the overall constraints of Agency
priorities and resources.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the
Exploration Capabilities activities of the Agency, which include the
International Space Station, Space Shuttle, and Space and Flight Support
themes within the Space Operations Mission Directorate. The full costs
include both direct and indirect costs supporting these programs, and
provide for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and
related expenses; design, repair, rehabilitation, 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 the Exploration
Capabilities activities are addressed in NASA's detailed budget request,
and summaries of these activities are in the NASA chapter of the 2007
President's Budget. The Exploration Capabilities activities include
Space Operations, and are described below.
Space operations.--Space Operations encompasses three themes:
International Space Station, Space Shuttle Program, and Space and Flight
Support. The International Space Station (ISS) is a complex of research
laboratories in low Earth orbit (LEO) in which American, Russian,
Canadian, European, and Japanese astronauts conduct unique scientific
and technological investigations in a micro-gravity environment. The
objective of the ISS is to support scientific research for human space
exploration and maintain a permanent human presence in Earth orbit. The
FY 2007 budget request provides funding for ISS launch processing
activities, the continuation of ISS on-orbit assembly with a crew of
three, and continuation of research payload and experiment deliveries to
orbit. It also includes funding for development of habitability
modifications and completion of the regenerative environmental control
and life support system needed to increase the crew capacity, consistent
with human space exploration research requirements.
The Space Shuttle program's mission is to support space exploration
by continuing to construct the ISS. The 2007 Budget request also
supports one servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope contingent
upon safety and technical feasibility assessments, which will be
conducted after the next Shuttle flight. The 2007 Budget request will
allow NASA to provide appropriate contingency resources to combat flight
hardware obsolescence, maintain ground systems and facilities, and to
initiate actions for an orderly phase-out of the program by 2010. In
addition, the Shuttle program will work closely with the Exploration
Systems Mission Directorate to integrate the application of Shuttle
flight hardware and selected ground systems to advance the development
of the Crew Exploration Vehicle/Crew Launch Vehicle and Heavy Lift
Launch Vehicle.
Space and Flight Support is comprised of four critical and distinct
programs that provide on-going customer support for a wide range of
services including Space Communications, Launch Services, Rocket
Propulsion Testing, and Crew Health and Safety. 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.
