This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the science activities of the agency, which consist of
the programs, or themes, within the Science Mission Directorate. 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; design, repair, rehabilitation, modification of facilities, and construction of new facilities; and
other general and administrative activities supporting the
themes within this account.
Detailed performance goals associated with these activities
are addressed in NASA’s detailed budget request, and summaries of these activities are in the NASA chapter of the
2009 President’s Budget.
NASA’s Science Mission Directorate encompasses four
themes: Earth Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and

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. The Directorate achieves its objectives through robotic flight 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 and objective scientific data and
analysis to advance understanding of Earth system processes
and phenomena, thus improving prediction and response capabilities for climate, weather, natural hazards, and even
human-induced disasters. Employing a constellation of 13
Earth-observing satellites routinely making measurements,
NASA continues using the view from space to study the Earth
system and improve prediction of Earth system changes and
the connection between Earth and its star, the Sun. NASA
will be launching seven additional missions over the next
several years to further enhance and expand understanding
of Earth and its processes. These include missions such as
Glory, which is to be launched in 2008 and will fly instruments to extend our measurements of total solar irradiance
and provide first-ever measurements of properties of atmospheric aerosols. Other examples are the Orbiting Carbon Observatory and the Aquarius mission (scheduled to be launched
in 2008 and 2010, respectively) which will make new, firstof-a-kind global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide
concentrations and ocean surface salinity, both parameters
of known importance to the study of climate change. In addition, the Ocean Surface Topography Mission is set for launch
in 2008 and is intended to measure parameters such as sea
level height. Other key upcoming missions include the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Preparatory Project (NPP, with an anticipated launch
of 2010), the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (planned for
launch in 2011), and the Global Precipitation Measurement
Mission, which will provide accurate, global rain measurements every three hours and is to be launched in two parts
in 2013 and 2014. In a significant new initiative, NASA also
will begin implementation of a series of advanced Earth-observing satellite missions based on the recommendations of
the National Research Council’s Earth Science and Applications Decadal Survey, a recent community-consensus study
that identified the most important Earth System Science
questions and proposed a sequence of focused satellite missions to advance Earth science. In addition, NASA will support activities to better leverage existing data sources and
models in furthering climate and ocean science, as recommended by various community planning documents.
Planetary science seeks to discover the nature and origin
of the celestial bodies among which we live and to explore
whether life exists beyond Earth. To unlock the solar system’s
mysteries, NASA will continue its investigation of Mars from
orbit and on the surface with a new generation of missions,
including launching the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory rover
(September 2009 launch, June 2010 arrival), which will dramatically increase in situ exploration capability with analytical laboratories focused on determining if Mars was habitable
and if organics are present. The Phoenix mission will land

May 25, 2008, to study the northern polar regions of Martian
ice-rich area that could provide clues to the history of the
planet’s evolution and search for organics under the surface.
Exploration will continue with the rovers Spirit and Opportunity, as well as the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars
Odyssey. The investigation of the outer planets will include
such missions as the Cassini Saturn orbiter that has continued to return stunning images and revised scientific understanding of the ringed planet and its moons, the Juno mission
that will further improve understanding of the origin and
evolution of Jupiter (launch in August 2011), and the New
Horizons (Pluto) mission which will complete NASA’s initial
reconnaissance of the solar system. Dawn, launched in September 2007, is on its nine-year mission to investigate in
detail 1 Ceres and 4 Vesta, two main-belt asteroids that are
among the largest proto-planets remaining intact since the
formation of the solar system. MESSENGER, a mission to
Mercury, will provide the first images covering the entire
planet and collect detailed information on the composition
and structure of Mercury’s crust, its geologic history, the nature of its thin atmosphere and active magnetosphere, and
the makeup of its core and polar materials. NASA exploration
of the Moon will be expanded to include a recently selected
full class Discovery mission, GRAIL, a moon gravity mapping
mission that will advance understanding of the thermal evolution of the Moon, as well as a new series of robotic missions
that will significantly increase our knowledge of the Earth’s
closest neighbor as we prepare for a human return to the
Moon.
In seeking to understand the Sun, heliosphere, and planetary environments as a single, connected system, NASA’s
Heliophysics theme pursues three sets of missions: Solar Terrestrial Probe missions, Living with a Star missions, and
Explorer missions. Solar Terrestrial Probe addresses fundamental science questions about the physics of plasma and
the flow of mass and energy in the solar system, and includes
the development of the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission,
with an anticipated launch date not earlier than 2014. 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 first Living with a Star
mission, Solar Dynamics Observatory, is planned to launch
in December 2008. Radiation Belt Storm Probes, the next
Living with a Star mission, has an anticipated launch date
not earlier than 2012. The Living with a Star program plans
to provide a launch vehicle and one instrument/science investigation for a joint Solar Orbiter Collaboration with the European Space Agency. AIM and THEMIS are two Explorer missions that will study the upper atmosphere of the earth and
the magnetic connections and processes of the Earth’s
magnetosphere. Three other Explorer missions, IBEX, CINDI,
and TWINS, are designed to investigate physical conditions
and processes of the coupled Sun-Earth system in the
heliosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere respectively, and
will be in prime mission operations during FY09. NASA also
intends to select three new Small Explorer missions for formulation.
Within the Astrophysics theme, perplexing and important
questions guide NASA’s quest to understand the secrets of
the universe: How does the universe work? 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. Toward this end,
the Hubble Servicing Mission 4, scheduled to launch on
Atlantis in 2008, will extend the lifetime of critical components of this central data source. Together these missions
will enhance NASA’s ability to find planets around other stars

and peer deep into the history of the universe and improve
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 will investigate the high-energy world of black holes and neutron stars.
The Joint Dark Energy Mission will provide the most accurate
inventory to date of the mysterious dark energy, a major
component of the universe and a contributor to its rate of
expansion. The James Webb Space Telescope will study the
earliest galaxies and some of the first stars formed after
the Big Bang.

Detailed performance goals associated with these activities
are addressed in NASA’s detailed budget request, and summaries of these activities are in the NASA chapter of the
2009 President’s Budget.
NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is committed to expanding the boundaries of aeronautical knowledge
for the benefit of the nation and the broad aeronautics community. NASA conducts cutting-edge research that includes
foundational research across a number of core competencies
that support aeronautics and space exploration activities; research in key areas related to the development of advanced
aircraft technologies and systems, including those related to
aircraft safety, environmental compatibility, and fuel efficiency; and research that supports the Next Generation Air
Transportation System in partnership with the Joint Planning
and Development Office.
NASA’s aeronautics research directly supports the goal and
objectives of the National Aeronautics Research and Development Policy that was established by Presidential Executive
Order 13419 in December 2006. NASA ensures that it is
aligned with the Policy by (1) conducting high-quality, cutting-edge research that benefits the constituents of the entire
aeronautics community; (2) disseminating the results of all
research to the widest practical and appropriate extent; (3)
pursuing a coordinated approach to managing the Nation’s
research, development, test, and evaluation infrastructure; (4)
fostering intellectual partnerships with industry and academia by means of cooperative Space Act Agreements and
fully and openly competed research awards that emphasize
true collaborations among all partners by means of the NASA

pecially the Federal Aviation Administration, Department of
Defense, and the Joint Planning and Development Office.
NASA’s Aeronautics theme consists of three integrated research programs as well as the Aeronautics Test Program
that preserves a critical suite of aeronautics test facilities.
The Fundamental Aeronautics Program will conduct cuttingedge research that will enable the design of vehicles that
fly through any atmosphere at any speed. Because aircraft
of the future will need to address multiple and often conflicting design challenges such as noise, emissions, and performance, a key focus will be the development of physicsbased, multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimization
tools. Such tools will make it possible to evaluate radically
new vehicle designs and to assess, with known uncertainties,
the potential impact of innovative concepts and technologies
on a vehicle’s overall performance.
The Aviation Safety Program builds upon the unique safetyrelated research capabilities of NASA to develop innovative
tools, concepts, methods, and technologies that will improve
the intrinsic safety attributes of current and future aircraft,
and that will help overcome aviation safety challenges that
would otherwise constrain the full realization of the Next
Generation Air Transportation System. Such challenges include significant increases in air traffic density, increased
reliance on automation, and a greatly increased diversity of
air vehicles.
The Airspace Systems Program conducts cutting-edge air
traffic management research that will enable the Next Generation Air Transportation System. In partnership with the
Joint Planning and Development Office, the program develops
the concepts, algorithms, capabilities, and technologies that
will lead to the significant enhancements in capacity, efficiency, and flexibility needed to meet the Nations airspace
and airportal (gates, taxiways, runways, and final approach
airspace) requirements for decades to come.
The Aeronautics Test Program ensures the strategic availability and accessibility of a critical suite of aeronautics test
facilities that are deemed necessary to meet aeronautics,
Agency, and national needs. Strategic utilization, operations,
maintenance, and investment decisions are made for major
wind tunnel/ground test facilities at NASA’s Ames Research
Center, Glenn Research Center, and Langley Research Center, and for the Western Aeronautical Test Range, support/
testbed aircraft, and simulation and load laboratories at Dryden Flight Research Center.

modification of facilities, and construction of new facilities;
and other general and administrative activities supporting
the themes within this account.
Detailed performance goals associated with these activities
are addressed in NASA’s detailed budget request, and summaries of these activities are in the NASA chapter of the
2009 President’s Budget.
The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate was established to realize the Vision for Space Exploration. Exploration
Systems includes two themes that work together to enable
sustainable exploration and scientific discovery in the solar
system: Constellation Systems and Advanced Capabilities.
The Constellation Systems theme is responsible for developing capabilities essential to making the Vision for Space
Exploration a reality. Through Constellation Systems, 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. Human exploration will enable scientific activities and
discoveries not obtainable with robotic explorers.
Constellation Systems has built on early architecture studies to develop an increasingly mature design. Prime contractors for most major systems are now in place, and requirements continue to undergo refinement leading up to Preliminary Design Review in 2008. Initial capabilities include the
Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle that will transport and support crews traveling beyond low Earth orbit; the Ares I launch
vehicle for transporting Orion into space; Extravehicular Activity suits and tools required by the flight crews; and ground
and mission operations infrastructure. Following the development of these initial capabilities, Constellation Systems will
develop capabilities to support a human mission to the lunar
surface by 2020. These capabilities include the Ares V heavylift launch vehicle, leveraging engineering design and capabilities from the Shuttle Program; an Earth Departure Stage
to propel Orion from low Earth to lunar orbit; a Lunar Surface Access Module 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.
An important element of Constellation Systems is the International Space Station commercial crew/cargo services project,
also known as Commercial Orbital Transportation Services
(COTS). The Vision for Space Exploration called for NASA
to pursue commercial opportunities for providing transportation to the International Space Station. The Commercial
Orbital Transportation Services project is intended to spur
private industry to provide cost-effective cargo delivery to the
International Space Station, allowing NASA to focus its internal resources on exploration.
The Advanced Capabilities theme consists of three programs: the Lunar Precursor Robotic Program, the Exploration
Technology Development Program, and the Human Research
Program. Activities within these programs help prepare for
human lunar exploration, test new technologies that enable
exploration, and further understanding of the effects of space
on human performance. The Lunar Precursor Robotic Program is developing a precursor mission to characterize the
lunar environment.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Lunar Crater Observing and Sensing Satellite, scheduled to launch in October
2008, will seek to find safe landing sites, locate potential
resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology. The Lunar Precursor Robotic Program will work with the Science Mission Directorate and
international partners on future missions to ensure that
NASA gains the data it needs to ensure safe and cost-effective
future exploration. The Exploration Technology Development

Program makes focused investments in innovations to reduce
the cost and expand the capabilities of future space exploration missions. The Human Research Program focuses on
ensuring the health, safety, and productivity of humans embarking on missions of exploration in the solar system.
Projects advance knowledge 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.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated
with the space operations activities of the agency, which consist of the programs, or themes, within the Space Operations
Mission Directorate. 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; design, repair, rehabilitation, modification of facilities, and construction of new
facilities; and other general and administrative activities supporting the themes within this account.
Detailed performance goals associated with these activities
are addressed in NASA’s detailed budget request, and summaries of these activities are in the NASA chapter of the
2009 President’s Budget.
The International Space Station is a complex of research
laboratories in low Earth orbit in which American, Russian,
Canadian, European, and Japanese astronauts are conducting
unique scientific and technological investigations in a microgravity environment. The objective of the Space Station is
to support human space exploration. The on-orbit assembly
of the Space Station is over 60% complete, and all of the
U.S. flight elements required to finish assembly by the end
of the decade have completed development. NASA plans to
continue assembly of the Space Station in 2009, including
the truss and power segments and the addition of the International Partner modules. The 2009 President’s Budget provides funding for Space Station launch processing activities,
on-orbit assembly culminating in a crew of six by mid–2009,
and continuation of research payload and experiment deliveries to orbit. It also includes funding for development of
habitability modifications, the purchasing of additional spares
to be stowed on the Space Station for use after Space Shuttle
retirement in 2010, and completion of the regenerative environmental control and life support system needed to increase
the crew capacity. The increased crew capacity will facilitate
human space exploration research.
The Space Shuttle program’s mission is to support space
exploration by completing the assembly of the International
Space Station by the end of the decade. The 2009 President’s
Budget request assumes the Space Shuttle will fly four missions in 2009, and provides specific program investments for
vehicle safety and supportability needed to maintain a viable
Shuttle fleet until its retirement in 2010. The 2009 Budget
request will allow NASA to combat flight hardware obsolescence, maintain ground systems and facilities, and to continue
progress towards an orderly phase-out of the program no later
than September 30, 2010. In addition, the Shuttle program
will support the Space Operations and Exploration Systems
Mission Directorates to leverage select Shuttle flight hardware and ground systems to advance the development of the
Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, the Ares I Crew Launch
Vehicle, and the Ares V Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle.
Space and Flight Support is comprised of four separate
programs that provide on-going customer support for a wide
range of services. The programs include Space Communications, Launch Services, Rocket Propulsion Testing, and Crew
Health and Safety, and are provided to a wide range of customers including NASA, other U.S. federal agencies, foreign
governments, and commercial customers. The services are
critical for enabling the conduct of space exploration, aeronautical research, and physiological research. In 2009, funding for the Agency’s space communications and navigation
infrastructure will be consolidated within the Space Operations’ Office of Space Communications and Navigation in

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

øNotwithstanding the limitation on the duration of availability of
funds appropriated for ‘‘Science, Aeronautics and Exploration’’ or ‘‘Exploration Capabilities’’ under this title, 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 minor 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, 2010.¿
Funds for announced prizes otherwise authorized shall remain
available, without fiscal year limitation, until the prize is claimed
or the offer is withdrawn. øFunding shall not be made available
for Centennial Challenges unless authorized.¿
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 transfer pursuant to this provision shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds under section 505 of this Act and shall not
be available for obligation except in compliance with the procedures
set forth in that section.
øNotwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds shall be
used to implement any Reduction in Force or other involuntary separations (except for cause) by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration prior to September 30, 2008.
The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall prepare a strategy for minimizing job losses when the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration transitions from the
Space Shuttle to a successor human-rated space transport vehicle.
This strategy shall include: (1) specific initiatives that the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration has undertaken, or plans to
undertake, to maximize the utilization of existing civil service and
contractor workforces at each of the affected Centers; (2) efforts to
equitably distribute tasks and workload between the Centers to mitigate the brunt of job losses being borne by only certain Centers;
(3) new workload, tasks, initiatives, and missions being secured for
the affected Centers; and (4) overall projections of future civil service
and contractor workforce levels at the affected Centers. The Administrator shall transmit this strategy to Congress not later than 90
days after the date of enactment of this Act. The Administrator
shall update and transmit to Congress this strategy not less than
every six months thereafter until the successor human-rated space
transport vehicle is fully operational.
For fiscal year 2009 and hereafter, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration shall provide, at a minimum, the following
information in its annual budget justification:
(1) The actual, current, proposed funding level, and estimated
budgets for the next five fiscal years by directorate, theme, program, project and activity within each appropriations account.
(2) The proposed programmatic and non-programmatic construction of facilities.
