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 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 $25 million to NASA's Science Mission Directorate to support cooperative
agreements that will connect NASA science to learners of all ages. 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 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,
Space Transportation 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.
The Space Transportation theme's objective is to transport U.S. astronauts and cargo safely back and forth to America's orbiting
national laboratory, ISS. This newly created theme combines the Commercial Crew Program and ISS Crew and Cargo. Maintaining
the ISS requires a fleet of vehicles and launch locations to transport astronauts, science experiments, critical supplies,
maintenance hardware, replenish propellant, and dispose of waste. The Commercial Crew Program partners with the U.S. private
sector to develop and operate safe, reliable, and affordable crew transportation to low-Earth orbit. Within ISS Crew and Cargo
Transportation, NASA currently purchases cargo transportation to the ISS under the CRS contracts with Orbital ATK and SpaceX
and crew transportation from the Russian Space Agency, Roscosmos.

The Working Capital Fund provides goods and services on a reimbursable basis. The Fund consists of three program activities.
The first is the Solutions for Enterprise-wide Procurement program, which finances, on an agency-wide basis, scientific and
engineering workstation procurement. The second program is the Information Technology Infrastructure Integration Program which
consolidates and centralizes management of NASA information technology services in the areas of Tier 1 service desk and ordering,
web services and technologies, enterprise business and management applications, integrated network/communications services,
end user services, and data center services. The last program, NASA's Shared Services Center, performs selected financial
management, human resources, information technology, and procurement services for NASA Headquarters and Centers.

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.
[The unexpired balances for Commercial Spaceflight Activities contained within the Exploration account may be transferred to
the Space Operations account for such activities. Balances so transferred shall be merged with the funds in the Space Operations
account and shall be available under the same terms, conditions and period of time as previously appropriated.]
For the closeout of all Space Shuttle contracts and associated programs, amounts that have expired but have not been cancelled
in the Exploration, Space Operations, Human Space Flight, Space Flight Capabilities, and Exploration Capabilities appropriations
accounts shall remain available through fiscal year 2025 [for the liquidation of valid obligations incurred during the period of fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2013].
