The Science appropriation provides for NASA's science mission, which is comprised of the agency's Earth and space science
programs: Earth Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, the James Webb Space Telescope, and Astrophysics. These programs,
which are managed by the Science Mission Directorate, seek to answer fundamental questions concerning the ways in which Earth's
climate is changing; the comparison of Earth with other planets in the solar system and around other stars; the connections
among the Sun, Earth, and heliosphere; and the origin and evolution of planetary systems, the galaxy, and the universe, including
the origin and distribution of life in the universe. Program objectives are pursued through robotic flight missions, ground-based
scientific research and data analysis, and the development of new technologies for future missions.
The Science appropriation provides for all of the research, development, operations, salaries and related expenses, and other
general and administrative activities required to execute the programs within this account. Costs include labor, travel, procurement,
and test and fabrication costs. Performance goals associated with these activities are addressed in NASA's detailed budget
request.

This appropriation provides for costs associated with NASA's development of systems and capabilities required for human exploration
of space, including U.S. crew access to the International Space Station. The systems and capabilities include launch and crew
vehicles for missions beyond low Earth orbit, an affordable, competitive commercial crew capability that offers access to
the Space Station, technologies and countermeasures to keep astronauts healthy and functional during deep space missions,
and technologies to reduce launch mass and the cost of deep space missions. The full costs provide for the research; development;

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with NASA's education activities within the Office of Education.
NASA's Education program works to educate and inspire students at all levels to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The full costs provide for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and
related expenses; and other general and administrative activities required to execute the programs within this account. Costs
include labor, travel, procurement, test and fabrication costs. Performance goals associated with these activities are addressed
in NASA's detailed budget request.
The Budget continues NASA's efforts to consolidate its education efforts into a more focused portfolio funded through the
Office of Education. Additionally, the Budget provides $20 million to NASA's Science Mission Directorate to fund the best
application of NASA Science assets to meet the Nation's STEM education goals. NASA will continue to work closely with other
agencies and stakeholders to reach a wider group of students and teachers and to support key areas identified by the Federal
STEM Education 5-Year Strategic Plan.
NASA's Education appropriation funds a portfolio of activities that provides opportunities to a diverse audience of educators
and learners, including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities. NASA will continue to improve STEM education through
an internal competitive process that invests in NASA's most effective education programs. NASA's investments will include
support for Minority Serving Institutions and community colleges, which generally serve a high proportion of minority students,
preparing them for study at a four-year institution.

This appropriation provides for NASA's supporting functions associated with the science, aeronautics, space technology, education,
space operations, exploration, and construction and environmental compliance and restoration activities of the agency. This
account provides for the operations and maintenance; salaries and related expenses; and other general and administrative activities
supporting the programs within the Agency's six mission accounts.
Security, and Mission Services provides a strategic focus for managing agency mission support functions and some of NASA's
unique research facilities.
Center Management and Operations includes the basic costs to manage and operate each of the nine NASA field centers and to
maintain the technical capabilities required to support the Agency's Mission. This Budget is not directly identified or aligned
to a specific program or project requirement, but is necessary for efficient and effective administration and operation of
the NASA Centers.
Agency Management and Operations provides for the management and oversight of Agency programs, the performance of Agency-wide
activities and functions, and the maintenance of unique research capabilities and facilities. Responsibilities include the
determination of programs and projects; establishment of management policies, procedures, and performance criteria; evaluation
of progress; and the coordination and integration of all phases of the Agency's mission.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the space operations activities of the agency. The full costs
include all labor, travel, procurement, test and fabrication costs to execute these programs, which provide for all of the
research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses; and other general and administrative activities supporting
the programs within this account. Major themes within the Space Operations account include the International Space Station
and Space and Flight Support. Performance goals associated with these activities are addressed in NASA's detailed budget request.
The International Space Station is a complex of research laboratories in low Earth orbit in which America and its international
partners, including Russia, Canada, Europe, and Japan, conduct unique scientific and technological investigations in a microgravity
environment. The objective of the International Space Station is to support human space exploration and conduct science experiments
and technology development unique to the on-orbit attributes of the facility.
Space and Flight Support is comprised of multiple capabilities that provide on-going customer support for a wide range of
services. The programs include Space Communications and Navigation, Human Space Flight Operations, Launch Services, Rocket
Propulsion Testing, and the multi-user 21st Century Space Launch Complex. They are provided to a wide range of customers including
NASA, other U.S. Federal agencies, foreign governments, and commercial customers. The programs are managed by NASA's Human
Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, which also manages programs in the Exploration account.

Funds for any announced prize otherwise authorized shall remain available, without fiscal year limitation, until the prize
is claimed or the offer is withdrawn.
Not to exceed 5 percent of any appropriation made available for the current fiscal year for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration in this Act may be transferred between such appropriations, but no such appropriation, except as otherwise
specifically provided, shall be increased by more than 10 percent by any such transfers. Any funds transferred to "Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration" for construction activities shall not
increase that account by more than 20 percent. Balances so transferred shall be merged with and available for the same purposes and the same time period as the appropriations
to which transferred. Any transfer pursuant to this provision shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds under section [505] 504 of this Act and shall not be available for obligation except in compliance with the procedures set forth in that section.
The spending plan required by this Act shall be provided by NASA at the theme, program, project and activity level. [The spending plan, as well as any subsequent change of an amount established in that spending plan that meets the notification
requirements of section 505 of this Act, shall be treated as a reprogramming under section 505 of this Act and shall not be
available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the procedures set forth in that section.] (Science Appropriations Act, 2015.)
(transfer of funds)
The unexpired balances of a previous account, for activities for which funds are provided in this Act, may be transferred
to the new account established in this Act that provides for such activities. Balances so transferred shall be merged with the funds in the newly established account, but shall be available
under the same terms, conditions and period of time as previously appropriated. (Science Appropriations Act, 2015.)
