This appropriation provides funding for Human Space
Flight (HSF) activities, and for safety, mission assurance and
engineering activities supporting the Agency. The HSF activities include development and operations of the Space Station
and operation of the Space Shuttle. This includes high priority
investments to improve the safety of the Space Shuttle, and
required construction projects in direct support of Space Station and Space Shuttle programs. This appropriation also provides for: salaries and related expenses; design, repair, rehabilitation, and modification of facilities and construction of
new facilities; maintenance, and operation of facilities; and
other operations activities supporting human space flight programs; and space operations, safety, mission assurance and
engineering activities that support the Agency.
In 2001, the HSF account provided only for the direct funding of human space flight activities; space operations services
had been funded within the Science, Aeronautics and Technology (SAT) account; and safety, mission assurance and engineering had been funded within the Mission Support account.
Since 2002, other than direct costs (which includes Research
and Program Management and non-programmatic Construction of Facilities) are allocated to either the HSF or the SAT
account based on the number of full time equivalent people.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003

Federal Funds—Continued

General and special funds—Continued
HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT—Continued
(INCLUDING

TRANSFER OF FUNDS)—Continued

Performance Objectives
Space Station.—The International Space Station (ISS) 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 goal of the Station is to support scientific research and other activities requiring the unique attributes of humans in space and establish a permanent human presence in Earth orbit. The President’s 2003 Budget request provides funding for continued
development of the vehicle and for operations in support of
continued assembly, logistics resupply, crew exchange, research operations and other utilization. With nine assembly
missions successfully completed, the budget includes funding
to keep subsequent assembly missions on schedule through
U.S. Core Complete (Flight 10A), currently planned for calendar year 2004, to support early research commensurate
with the build-up of on-orbit utilization capabilities and resources.
In early calendar year 2001, NASA launched the U.S. Laboratory and the first set of research equipment necessary
for conducting experiments on the Space Station. Subsequent
flights enabled the installation of the Canadian robotic arm,
additional research equipment for the U.S. Laboratory, installation of the Russian docking compartment, and transport
of the 3rd and 4th crew expeditions. By mid-calendar year
2001, the U.S. Airlock had been installed, allowing
spacewalks to be conducted without the Space Shuttle
present, and marking completion of Phase 2 of the Space
Station assembly. The first utilization flight in December
2001 greatly expanded the number of research payloads onorbit, and raised the number of research investigations initiated to over 40. Crew training, payload processing, hardware
element processing, and mission operations were supported
without major ground anomalies, and all but two on-orbit
subsystems performed above predicted levels, resulting in a
lower than expected maintenance workload. This lower maintenance workload, coupled with the commitment of the expedition crews to dedicate time for conducting research experiments, resulted in research activities that exceeded expectations. NASA will seek to exceed expectations for research
productivity by achieving astronaut time dedicated to research
in excess of the planned 20 hours per week. During 2002,
three of the major truss elements constituting the power block
will be deployed to orbit, Expeditions 5 and 6 will be deployed,
and a second utilization flight will expand science capabilities
even further. In calendar year 2003, activation of the thermal
system will be completed, two of the three remaning solar
array modules will be deployed, and both the S6 truss and
Node 2, the final components of the U.S. Core Complete,
should be delivered to NASA for final integration and preflight test and checkout to support planned launches in calendar year 2004.
As required by both the NASA Authorization Act (PL 106–
391) and the 2002 VA/HUD Appropriations Act (P.L. 107–
73), the ISS research budget is transferred to the Biological
and Physical Research Enterprise in 2002. The remaining
ISS budget supports completion of the U.S. Core Complete
and allows the program to press ahead with the integration
of the partners’ research modules. A NASA cost estimate,
and an independent cost estimate (ICE) of the cost to assemble and operate the U.S. Core Complete will be completed
by September 2002. The 2002 appropriation directed a general
reduction in the station budget of $75M, which eliminated
reserves fenced for guaranteed carryover into 2003. The ap-

propriation also earmarked $40M for X–38 efforts that was
originally planned to cover X–38 plus continued work on Node
3 and the advanced environmental control system. NASA
plans to fund the Node 3 and environmental control work
into the 2nd quarter of 2002, when a decision will be made
to continue those efforts or to cancel them.
Consistent with the recommendations in the ISS Management and Cost Evaluation (IMCE) Task Force, and direction
from the Administration, NASA will develop a Cost Analysis
Requirements Document (CARD) to support cost estimates
of the U.S. Core Complete baseline. NASA will also develop
an integrated management action plan based on recommendations of the IMCE Task Force, and begin implementation
of those actions. NASA will also report to the Administration
and to Congress its plans for a non-governmental organization
(NGO) for ISS research, and the results of discussions with
the International Partners on ways to increase on-orbit resources for station research, in particular innovative methods
for increasing crew availability. The ISS Program is pressing
ahead with final flight hardware deliveries, and completion
of the current prime contract in December 2003. Requirements for follow-on support are being reviewed and estimated,
and a plan to competitively award contracts for the station’s
operations phase will be released this Spring.
Payload and Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) Support.—
The Payload Carriers and Support budget provides technical
expertise, facilities, flight carrier hardware and capabilities
necessary to provide end-to-end servicing of multiple payloads
to be flown aboard the Space Shuttle. During 2001, six pallets
were used in Space Shuttle missions. In 2002 and 2003, over
20 major and secondary payloads will be supported, including
major hardware for International Space Station assembly and
operations.
The ELV Mission Support budget provides funds for technical and management insight of commercial launch services,
including advanced mission design/analysis and leading-edge
integration services, which are provided for the full range
of NASA missions under consideration for launch on ELVs.
During 2001, eight ELV missions were launched. Integration
and technical management of 11 launches, including one secondary, are planned in 2002. In 2003, support for ten
launches, including one secondary, is planned.
Investments and Support.—NASA’s rocket propulsion test
project will ensure that unique capabilities are properly managed and maintained in world-class condition. The project
will significantly enhance NASA’s ability to properly manage
rocket testing activities and infrastructure across all four participating NASA centers. Engineering and technical base
(ETB) activity will continue to: support the institutional capability in the operation of space flight laboratories, technical
facilities, and testbeds; conduct independent safety, and reliability assessments; and stimulate science and technical competence in the United States. Funding for other direct costs
associated with Human Space Flight, which were funded in
the Mission Support account prior to 2002, are also funded
within investments and support. This includes research and
program management costs and non-programmatic construction of facilities costs.
Space Shuttle.—The Space Shuttle is a partially reusable
space vehicle that provides several unique capabilities to the
United States space program. These include retrieving payloads from orbit for reuse, servicing and repairing satellites
in space, safely transporting humans to and from space,
launching ISS components and providing an assembly platform in space, and operating and returning space laboratories.
In 2001, the Space Shuttle launched seven flights, all of
which were ISS assembly and servicing missions. Seven
flights are planned during 2002 including a dedicated microgravity research flight and another HST Servicing Mission
(HST-3B) and five ISS assembly and servicing missions. In

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

2003, four flights are planned, all of which are ISS assembly
and servicing missions. In support of the research objectives
of the Space Station, the Space Shuttle will commit a minimum of five powered mid-deck lockers on each mission to
deliver necessary research equipment and specimens.
NASA will aggressively pursue Space Shuttle competitive
sourcing as an important step in transitioning NASA from
infrastructure ownership and operation to purchasing space
transportation services where possible. NASA will seek industry comment on its plans early this year, leading to release
of a solicitation for competitive sourcing. NASA will prepare
a Cost Analysis Requirements Document (CARD) to support
NASA and independent cost estimates of Space Shuttle operations and safety investments, similar to estimates being done
for the Space Station. These estimates, to be completed by
September, 2002, will provide an important baseline from
which to assess competitive sourcing options.
The President’s 2003 Budget supports key Space Shuttle
safety investments as part of NASA’s Integrated Space Transportation Plan. NASA will seek to accelerate the implementation of safety investments, to begin achieving safety gains
in Shuttle operations as quickly as possible. The President’s
2003 Budget also supports investments in the Space Shuttle
infrastructure, as necessary to address safety issues and critical repair and revitalization activities.
Space Communications and Data Systems.—The program
goal is to support NASA’s Enterprises and external customers
with Space Communications and Data System (SCDS) services that are responsive to customer needs. Additionally, the
program performs infrastructure upgrades and replenishment
efforts necessary to maintain the service capabilities that satisfy the approved mission model. The program conducts technology and standards infusion efforts to provide more efficient
and effective services. The Space Communications Office at
Headquarters manages and directs an integrated Agency-wide
Space Communications and Data Systems program.
Beginning in 2002, a decentralized management process has
been implemented that involves transferring most management and budget responsibilities previously performed by the
Space Operations Management Office to the appropriate Enterprises. Beginning in 2003, the Deep Space Network,
Ground Network and Western Aeronautical Test Range will
be managed by NASA’s Enterprises. The Office of Space
Flight will continue to perform overall program integration,
including the management of Consolidated Space Operations
Contract, which is now in its fourth year of providing data
services to both NASA and non-NASA customers.
The TDRS–8 spacecraft, which completed on-orbit checkout
in September 2000, is working well and meets all user service
telecommunications performance requirements except for a
Multiple Access (MA) performance anomaly. Modifications to
the TDRS–I and TDRS–J spacecraft flight hardware and test
program as a result of the MA investigation have been implemented. TDRS–I launch is now planned for February 2002.
The launch of TDRS–J is slated for October 2002.
Safety, Mission Assurance and Engineering.—The Safety
and Mission Assurance program invests in the safety and
success of NASA missions by assuring that sound and robust
policies, processes, and tools for safety, reliability, quality assurance, and engineering disciplines are in place and applied
throughout NASA. The program also examines long-term
technology requirements for NASA’s strategic objectives. The
Engineering program, managed by the Office of the Chief
Engineer (OCE), oversees the conduct and improvement of
NASA’s engineering practice and independently evaluates ongoing programs, proposed concepts, and options for new programs. The OCE establishes policies, standards, guidance,
and support for improving NASA engineering practices and
technical capabilities, and manages the NASA Electronics
Parts and Packaging Program, which supports evaluation and

This appropriation provides for the Science, Aeronautics
and Technology (SAT) supporting the Agency. The SAT activities include space science, biological and physical research
including research for the International Space Station, earth
science, aerospace technology, and academic programs. This
appropriation also provides for salaries and related expenses;
design, repair, rehabilitation, and modification of facilities and
construction of new facilities; maintenance and operation of
facilities; and other operations activities supporting science,
aeronautics, and technology programs.
In 2001, the SAT account provided only for the direct funding of science, aeronautics and technology activities, and included funding for space operations services which are now
funded within the Human Space Flight (HSF) account. Since
2002, other direct costs (which include Research and Program
Management and non-programmatic Construction of Facilities) are allocated to either the HSF or the SAT account
based on the number of full time equivalent personnel.

Performance Objectives
Space Science.—The Space Science program seeks to answer
fundamental questions concerning: the galaxy and the universe; the connection between the Sun, Earth and heliosphere;
the origin and evolution of planetary systems; and the origin
and distribution of life in the universe. The Space Science
program is comprised of many research and development activities, including flight missions, major space-based facilities,
technology and mission development programs, and research
and data analysis.
In 2001, the Space Science program produced many notable
scientific results: The Hubble Space Telescope discovered a
supernova blast that occurred very early in the life of the
Universe, bolstering the case for the existence of a mysterious
form of ‘‘dark energy’’ pervading the Universe. The concept
of dark energy, which pushes galaxies away from each other
at an ever-increasing speed, was first proposed, then discarded, by Albert Einstein early in the last century. The
Hubble discovery also reinforces the startling idea that the
expansion of the universe only recently began speeding up.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory enhanced our understanding of black holes on many fronts. Chandra took the
deepest X-ray images ever and found the early Universe teeming with black holes, probed the theoretical edge of a black
hole known as the event horizon, and captured the first Xray flare ever seen from the supermassive black hole at the
center of our own Milky Way galaxy.
Detailed scientific analysis of high-resolution images obtained by the BOOMERANG (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics) mission provided the most precise measurements to date of several of
the key characteristics cosmologists use to describe the Universe. These images were the first to bring the cosmic microwave background (the radiation remaining from the ‘‘big
bang’’ that created the Universe) into sharp focus.
In addition to these discoveries that have enhanced our
understanding of the origin, evolution, and structure of the
Universe, many discoveries in 2001 related to the rapidly
growing field of extrasolar planet (planets outside our Solar
System) detection. NASA and National Science Foundationfunded astronomers discovered eight new extrasolar planets,
bringing the total number of extrasolar planet detections to
about eighty. Observations from the Submillimeter Wave As-

tronomy Satellite (SWAS) provided the first evidence that
extrasolar planetary systems contain water, a molecule that
is an essential ingredient for known forms of life. Also in
this field, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have
made the first detection and chemical analysis of the atmosphere of a planet outside our Solar System.
Within our Solar System, NASA spacecraft made many
stunning achievements in 2001. In a risky flyby, the Deep
Space-1 spacecraft successfully navigated past comet Borrelly,
giving researchers the best look ever inside a comet’s glowing
core of icy dust and gas. Deep Space-1 passed just 2,200
kilometers (1,400 miles) from the rocky, icy nucleus of the
10 kilometer-long (more than 6 mile-long) comet. The NEAR
(Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) Shoemaker spacecraft
achieved the first soft landing on an asteroid. The landing
was the culmination of a year-long orbital mission at the
asteroid Eros during which the mission returned enormous
quantities of scientific data and images.
A pair of spacecraft, the Mars Global Surveyor and the
Hubble Space Telescope, provided astronomers with a ringside
seat to the biggest global dust storm seen on Mars in several
decades. The Martian dust storm, larger by far than any
seen on Earth, raised a cloud of dust that engulfed the entire
planet for several months. The sun-warmed dust raised Martian atmospheric temperatures by 80 degrees Fahrenheit
while the shaded Martian surface chilled precipitously. Also
in calendar year 2001, the Mars Odyssey 2001 spacecraft
successfully achieved orbit around Mars following a sixmonth, 286-million mile journey. Following aerobraking operations, this spacecraft will be placed in its science-mapping
orbit in early calendar year 2002 and will characterize composition of the Martian surface at unprecedented levels of
detail.
In the field of Sun-Earth Connections, where we seek to
develop a scientific understanding of the physical interactions
in the Sun-Earth system, there were several important scientific accomplishments in calendar year 2001. The Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) observed the largest sunspot in ten years, with a surface area equivalent to thirteen
Earths. This area proved to be a prolific source of stormy
solar activity, hurling clouds of electrified gas (known as Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs) towards Earth. Other studies
conducted by the SOHO spacecraft have provided the first
clear picture of what lies beneath sunspots, peering inside
the Sun to see swirling flows of electrified gas that create
the self-reinforcing cycle that holds a sunspot together.
The calendar year was capped by the successful launch
of the TIMED (Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere
Energetics and Dynamics) mission on December 7, 2001. This
is the first mission in the Solar Terrestrial Probes program.
It will study a region of the Earth’s atmosphere that has
never been the subject of a comprehensive, long-term scientific investigation.
The NASA budget request for 2003 features two very significant changes from the previous baseline program: a reformulated planetary program and the inclusion of a nuclear
power and propulsion program. In the field of planetary exploration, the 2003 Budget takes a fundamentally different approach from previous years. Given cost growth and schedule
delays, all funding for the Pluto-Kuiper Belt mission and the
Europa Orbiter mission has been eliminated in 2003 and subsequent years. These missions will be replaced by a revamped
planetary program that will incorporate the following principles: clear science priorities that support key goals in understanding the potential existence of life beyond Earth and the
origins of life; open competition and rigorous reviews of cost,
schedule, and risk to minimize future overruns and delays
per the highly successful Discovery Program; and an architectural approach that balances science return in this decade
with investments in high-leverage technologies that will en-

able faster and more frequent missions with greater science
return in the next decade. It is envisioned that the new planetary program will be structured and managed along the lines
of the highly successful Discovery program. A key element
of this new program will be the development and incorporation of nuclear power and propulsion technologies. Building
upon ongoing NASA investments in advanced electric propulsion and instrument and electronics miniaturization, investments in nuclear power and nuclear-electric propulsion technologies that will enable much faster and more frequent planetary investigations with greater science capabilities. These
investments will allow NASA to undertake fundamentally
new approaches to planetary exploration. In the next decade,
nuclear-electric propulsion technology will enable affordable
planetary missions that: can reach targets in half the time
it would take using today’s propulsion systems; are not limited by today’s power and mass constraints; and can conduct
long-term observations of multiple targets.
Nuclear power technology will also be incorporated into the
Mars Exploration Program, specifically in the Mars Smart
Lander/Mobile Laboratory mission. This mission will now be
launched in calendar year 2009 to allow the incorporation
of nuclear power, instead of calendar year 2007 as previously
planned. By using nuclear power, the time during which the
Mars Mobile Laboratory can conduct science operations will
be extended from several months to several years. The nearerterm missions in the Mars Exploration Program remain essentially unchanged. In May and June of 2003, two highly
capable surface rovers will be launched to Mars, with landings on the surface expected in April and May of 2004. The
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) will be launched in calendar year 2005; this powerful scientific orbiter will focus
on analyzing the surface at unprecedented levels of detail
to follow tantalizing hints of water detected in images from
the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. MRO will measure thousands of Martian landscapes at 20- to 30-centimeter (8- to
12-inch) resolution. It will be followed by a competitively selected Mars Scout mission in calendar year 2007 and the
Smart Lander/Mobile Laboratory in calendar year 2009. This
robust program of orbiters, landers, and rovers is poised to
unravel the secrets of the red planet’s past environments,
the history of its rocks, the many roles of water, and, possibly,
evidence of past or present life.
This Budget supports the completion of development of
many significant missions, including Gravity Probe-B (GP–
B), the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), and the
Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA).
GP–B, which will verify a key aspect of Einstein’s theory
of general relativity, will be launched in October 2002. SIRTF,
the fourth and final of the Great Observatories, is scheduled
for launch in 2003. SOFIA development activities will continue, with the aircraft door and the telescope to be installed
and tested in 2003. Development activities supporting the
Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), the
Gammaray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), the final
Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, as well as several
key missions in the payloads program such as Solar-B and
Herschel, will also continue in 2003.
In the Explorer program, the Microwave Anisotropy Probe
successfully launched on June 30, 2001, and development of
Swift, a multi-wavelength observatory for gammaray burst
astronomy, remains on schedule for a September, 2003
launch. Another MIDEX mission, the Full-sky Astrometric
Mapping Explorer (FAME), did not pass confirmation review
due to cost increases and was not approved for full-scale
development. Selection of the MIDEX–5 and MIDEX–6 missions will occur in 2002, and an Announcement of Opportunity for MIDEX–7 and MIDEX–8 will be released in 2003.
In the Small-class (SMEX) mission series, three NASA missions and two non-NASA Missions of Opportunity are sup-

ported. The NASA missions include the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), Two Wide-Angle Neutral Atom Spectrometers (TWINS), and the High Energy Solar Spectroscopic
Imager (HESSI). The Missions of Opportunity are the Coupled
Ion Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI; a cooperative
mission with the Air Force), and ASTRO E–2, an X-ray astronomy mission (in cooperation with Japan). ASTRO E–2
is a rebuild of ASTRO E, which was lost due to a failure
of the Japanese launch vehicle in February, 2000.
In the Discovery program, the Genesis mission was
launched on August 8, 2001; it has begun collecting samples
of charged particles from the solar wind, and it will return
these samples to Earth for analysis in calendar year 2004.
Development activities continue on three other Discovery missions. The Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) will be launched
in July 2002, and it will encounter two comets: comet Encke
in calendar year 2003, and comet Schwassman Wachman3 in calendar year 2006. The Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission to
orbit Mercury, and the Deep Impact mission to fly by and
fire an impactor into comet Temple-1, are both scheduled
to launch in early calendar year 2004.
The New Millennium program is providing flight demonstrations of critical new technologies that will reduce the
mass and cost of future science and spacecraft subsystems,
while maintaining or improving mission capabilities. In calendar year 2003, the Nanosat Constellation Trailblazer (Space
Technology-5, or ST–5) will undergo spacecraft and instrument integration and test in preparation for launch in calendar year 2004. Also in calendar year 2003, the Critical
Design Review for ST–6 will be conducted, as will the Confirmation Review for ST–7, and the initial confirmation for
ST–8.
The President’s 2003 Budget also provides funding for focused technology programs in each of the four major Space
Science themes: the Astronomical Search for Origins, Structure and Evolution of the Universe, Solar System Exploration,
and Sun-Earth Connections, which includes both the Living
With A Star Program and the Solar Terrestrial Probes Program. These funds provide for early technology development
in support of strategic missions such as the Next Generation
Space Telescope and the Space Interferometry Mission. The
goal is to retire technology risk early in a mission’s lifecycle, before proceeding to full-scale development. Funds are
also provided to continue on-going operations of approximately
thirty spacecraft, and to conduct robust research and analysis,
data analysis, and suborbital research campaigns.
Biological and Physical Research.—The Biological and
Physical Research Enterprise (BPRE) seeks to exploit the rich
opportunities of space flight for fundamental research in the
biological and physical sciences, as well as in commercial
development of space, and conducts research to enable efficient and effective systems for protecting and sustaining humans in space. BPRE seeks to achieve advances in biological
and physical sciences by understanding nature’s forces in
space, and achieve an understanding of the human experience
in space.
In late 2001, BPRE was created as NASA’s fifth strategic
enterprise. BPRE closed its first fiscal year with a significant
record of accomplishment. It expanded its interagency research collaborations, establishing a new memorandum of understanding with the United States Department of Agriculture, conducting a joint research solicitation with the National Cancer Institute, and continuing work under 18 other
agreements with the National Institutes of Health. A BPRE
investigator received the Nobel Prize in physics for ground-

based research that he plans to extend and expand on the
International Space Station. Outfitting the International
Space Station (ISS) for research began with the delivery of
the Human Research Facility in March 2001. Two research
equipment racks were delivered to the ISS in mid-April and
an additional two at the beginning of Expedition 3 in August.
BPRE initiated a program of research on the ISS to take
advantage of available resources during the construction
phase. The ISS Expedition 1 and 2 teams were able to exceed
expectations for meeting research objectives of the planned
experiments, with only one unsuccessful experiment due to
technical reasons.
In 2002, BPRE will continue to increase knowledge and
demonstrate key technology capabilities for humans in space,
address critical questions in crew health and safety, and materials science and commercial research payloads will be flown
on both the Space Shuttle and aboard ISS. The Space Station
research program is on track to deliver another five equipment racks on orbit by the end of calendar year 2002. BPRE
also will complete definition studies leading to award of a
contract to manage ISS utilization to a Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO). Working with the scientific community,
its advisory committees, and the Administration, BPRE will
complete the development of research priorities across its
portfolio of research endeavors to provide a basis for critical
resource allocation decisions. In the area of public outreach
and education, BPRE plans to develop electronic and printed
educational materials that focus on biological and physical
research.
In 2003, BPRE will implement its research priorities and
develop ISS flight facilities to achieve a prioritized and productive research program. BPRE will also work with Life
Science Museum Network members to explore opportunities
for the development of projects, special events, or workshops
focused on the life sciences and biology-related research
themes to attract and engage public audiences. In addition,
BPRE will make available to wide audiences an online database of Commercial Space Center activities, including publications listings, patents, and other information useful to the
general public.
Earth Science.—The mission of NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) is to develop a scientific understanding of the
Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced
changes to enable improved prediction of climate, weather
and natural hazards for present and future generations. ESE
seeks to answer a question of fundamental importance to
science and society: How is the Earth system changing, and
what are the consequences for life on Earth? To do so, ESE
is developing the interdisciplinary research field of Earth System Science, which recognizes that the Earth’s land surface,
oceans, atmosphere, ice sheets, and life itself all interact in
a highly dynamic system. Earth system science is an area
of research with immense benefit to the Nation, leading to
new knowledge and tools that may improve weather forecasting, agriculture, urban and regional planning, environmental quality, and natural disaster management. ESE has
established three goals to pursue in order to fulfill its mission:
(1) Science—observe, understand, and model the Earth system
to learn how it is changing, and the consequences for life
on Earth; (2) Applications—expand and accelerate the realization of economic and societal benefits from Earth science,
information, and technology; (3) Technology—develop and
adopt advanced technologies to enable mission success and
serve national priorities.
In ESE Science, 2001 was another year of substantial accomplishment toward understanding the Earth system. Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) produced the first global
record of the Earth’s biosphere, showing the uptake and release of carbon by land and oceans continuously over three
years. NASA-sponsored research showed that the growing sea-

son over parts of the Northern hemisphere has lengthened
over the past two decades, with an accompanying increase
in lushness of vegetation. NASA and the EarthSAT Corporation released the first consistent 30-m resolution land cover
map for the U.S., and are nearing completion of the global
map. These data are from calendar year 1990 and provide
a basis for comparison of future change; plans are being developed to repeat the process for calendar year 2001 and beyond.
Results from a major NASA/NSF-led international research
campaign indicate that aerosols from dust and pollution may
be reducing evaporation and thus slowing the global water
cycle. Results from comparing the 2000 and 1997 Antarctic
Mapping Missions have led to new estimates of change in
the Antarctic ice sheet; ice in the Lambert glacier flows from
the interior to the ‘‘mouth’’ where it reaches a rate of 1
kilometer per year. In the Northern hemisphere, NASA researchers identified patterns of change in sea ice extent over
a twenty-year period; overall, Arctic sea ice extent has decreased since calendar year 1978. Continued monitoring of
global ocean topography showed that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation governs climate impacts of the Pacific in non-El Nino/
La Nina years, and allowed the prediction of last winter’s
chill across the northern U.S. and relative warmth across
the South. ESE also made major advances in computing for
climate modeling, using a partnership among two NASA Centers and Silicon Graphics, Inc. to simulate 900 days of Earth’s
climate in one day, up from the prior capability of 70 days
per day; performance on end-to-end climate simulation improved ten-fold. This greatly enhances climate modelers’ ability to perform the multiple runs of many years of climate
simulations needed to generate useful projections of climate
change.
In ESE Applications, ESE has entered into a variety of
partnerships that will apply the goods and services made
possible by ESE’s research. ESE provides QuikSCAT data
in real time to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to improve marine weather forecasting, and
has used these data to show that severe storms forming over
the oceans can be predicted two days in advance. ESE is
working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to use remote sensing tools to update their flood
plain maps throughout the U.S. In a partnership called Agriculture 2020 with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
and four growers associations representing 100,000 farmers,
ESE is demonstrating how to increase crop productivity, reduce risks to crop health, and manage environmental impacts.
With the National Institutes of Health, we are exploring the
use of satellite data to predict spread of infectious diseases
such as malaria that are highly influenced by weather and
climate. Throughout the summer, three ESE satellites tracked
devastating wildfires in the western U.S., providing data to
the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and regional authorities. As
a result, USFS is investing in direct broadcast receiving stations to rapidly acquire data from NASA’s Terra satellite.
In ESE Technology, the Enterprise’s first New Millennium
Program satellite to demonstrate a variety of new technologies for Earth Science successfully completed all its demonstration tasks (save one high-risk propulsion task scheduled
for near the end of mission life). These include a new instrument to produce a Landsat-type sensor one-fourth the size
of the current Landsat 7 instrument, and the first
hyperspectral imager in space, which views the land surface
in hundreds of spectral channels rather than the conventional
five to seven channels. Sponsored technology research with
universities, industry and other government laboratories
moved 35% of ESE’s new remote sensing instrument concepts
one step closer to reality on an established scale of technology
maturity. These advances will substantially reduce the cost
and enhance the capability of new satellites over the next
decade or more. ESE also began formation flying of four land

imaging satellites, demonstrating that several smaller satellites can be operated in tandem to dramatically increase
spatial and temporal coverage.
ESE is in the midst of deployment of the Earth Observing
System (EOS), a set of spacecraft and associated interdisciplinary science investigations to initiate a long-term data set
of key parameters required for the study of global climate
change. The first six EOS satellites are already in orbit, including Jason-1 and SAGE III, launched in December 2001.
The remaining EOS satellites will be launched through calendar year 2004, including Aqua (calendar year 2002) to
study the water cycle and atmospheric circulation, and Aura
(calendar year 2004) to probe the chemistry of the upper
and lower atmosphere. Complementing EOS is a series of
small, focused Earth System Science Pathfinder missions to
explore Earth system processes never before examined globally from space. Data from the EOS satellites already in orbit
are being acquired, processed, and distributed by the EOS
Data and Information System (EOSDIS), which is currently
handling more than 1 terabyte of data per day. EOSDIS handled 12.3 million user queries for over 15 million products
in calendar year 2001. EOSDIS continues to evolve as new
satellites are launched, and as new partners are added to
produce data products with innovative applications.
As it deploys EOS, ESE is also planning for the future.
ESE and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) released a request
for proposal for Landsat Data Continuity Mission to succeed
Landsat 7; it is being implemented as a commercial data
purchase. ESE is also planning for the transition of several
of its key research observations to the Nation’s weather satellite system. The Department of Defense (DoD), NOAA and
NASA have established an Integrated Program Office (IPO)
to create a converged civilian and military weather satellite
system called the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) to replace the present
generation of separate systems. NASA and the IPO are jointly
funding the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) that will simultaneously continue key measurements begun by EOS and
demonstrate instruments for NPOESS. The NPP will save
money for both NASA and NOAA by combining essential atmospheric and Earth surface observations on a single platform, and by seeking to meet both climate science and operational weather requirements with the same advanced instruments.
ESE data products and research are a major contribution
to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, an interagency
collaboration overseen by the Committee on Natural Resources of the National Science and Technology Council.
NASA ESE will also contribute to the new Climate Change
Initiative, a multiagency effort with strong focus on outcomes.
Because Earth science is inherently global in scope, ESE is
engaged in a variety of international partnerships with individual nation’s space agencies, and with international consortia such as the World Meteorological Organization. ESE
seeks and receives scientific advice on a broad range of topics
from the various boards and committees of the National Research Council. These partnerships, together with those
above, ensure that NASA’s Earth Science Enterprise conducts
research at the frontiers of Earth science on questions of
practical importance to the Nation.
Aerospace Technology.—The Aerospace Technology (AST)
Enterprise mission is to pioneer the identification, development, verification, transfer, application, and commercialization of high-payoff aerospace technologies and the development of broad, crosscutting revolutionary innovations critical
to a number of NASA missions. The Enterprise plays a key
role in: 1) maintaining a safe and efficient national aviation
system, 2) enabling affordable, reliable space transportation
systems, and 3) developing basic technologies for a broad
range of space applications. Research and development pro-

grams conducted by the Enterprise contribute to NASA’s
science and exploration missions, national security, economic
growth, and the long-term competitiveness of American aerospace companies. The Enterprise directly supports national
policy in both aeronautics and space as directed in the President’s Goals for a National Partnership in Aeronautics and
Research Technology, the National Space Policy, and the National Space Transportation Policy.
A modern air and space transportation system is fundamental to our national economy, quality of life, and security
of the United States. For 75 years, a strong base for aerospace
technology research and development has provided enormous
contributions to this system, contributions that have fostered
the economic growth of our Nation and provided unprecedented mobility for U. S. citizens. Although major technical
advances have made our Nation’s air and space transportation
system the largest and best of its kind, the future holds
critical challenges to its continued growth and performance.
Because the U. S. air and space transportation system serves
both the public good and critical national security needs, ensuring the continued health and preeminence of that system
is a key issue for the future of the Nation.
Although NASA technology benefits the aerospace industry
directly, the creative application of NASA’s advanced technology to disparate design and development challenges has
made numerous contributions to other areas such as the environment, surface transportation, and medicine.
In order to develop the aerospace systems of the future,
revolutionary approaches to system design and technology development will be necessary. Pursuing technology fields that
are in their infancy today, developing the knowledge bases
necessary to design radically new aerospace systems, and performing efficient, high-confidence design and development of
revolutionary vehicles are challenges that face us in innovation. These challenges are intensified by the demand for safety in our highly complex aerospace systems.
The President’s 2003 Budget provides the resources necessary to maintain the progress required to achieve a 21st
Century aviation system that is safe, environmentally friendly, efficient and meets the growing demands for increased
and predictable performance. The President’s 2003 Budget
also supports technology development for space transportation
systems that are safer and significantly less costly than today’s systems. The structure of the Aerospace Technology
budget has been changed so that the budget lines are directly
linked to the Enterprise Strategic Goals. The first goal, Revolutionize Aviation, addresses fundamental, systemic issues in
the aviation system to ensure continued growth and development appropriate to the needs of the national and global
economies. These systemic issues—safety, capacity, environmental compatibility, and mobility—cut across markets including large subsonic civil transports, air cargo, commuter
and general aviation. NASA coordinates its investments and
technology objectives in this area with the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and the Department of Defense through
the National Research and Development Plan for Aviation
Security, Efficiency, and Environmental Compatibility. In
2003, the President’s Budget provides for the demonstration
of several advanced technologies that when implemented will
result in a significant reduction in aviation accidents. Specific
flight evaluations will include an integrated Synthetic Vision
System and Runway Incursion Prevention System intended
for use on commercial and business aircraft, a next-generation
cockpit weather information digital datalink and turbulence
awareness system, and a smart icing management system
which will automatically activate and manage an aircraft’s

ice protection systems. In addition, ground-based demonstrations of an advanced vehicle health management system, an
engine disk crack detection monitoring system and recovery
methods for flight critical systems will be accomplished. The
Administration’s request also provides for continued development of the technologies necessary to reduce the environmental impact of today’s aircraft. The sector testing of a jet
engine combustor that could reduce nitrous oxide emissions
by 70 percent will be complete. Selection of contractors to
proceed with full annular testing for large and regional jet
engines will also be complete. Additionally, the Administration’s request includes funding for the development of a broad
suite of advanced technologies that will provide the basis
for future emission reductions including carbon dioxide. The
request also includes the continuation of the noise reduction
technology that in calendar year 2007 will reduce the perceived aircraft noise pollution by a factor of two from the
calendar year 1997 baseline set by the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO). The budget request also continues to transfer to the Federal Aviation Administration
technologies required to safely increase the use of the National Airspace System (NAS). In order to define future technology investments in this area, the Virtual Airspace Modeling and Simulation project will provide state-of-the-art models of the airspace system which have the capability to model
the dynamic effects of interactive agents in the NAS. These
models will provide the capability to assess the economic impact of new technologies on the operational performance of
the NAS and thus guide future technology development. The
budget request continues the Small Aircraft Transportation
System (SATS) demonstration program. In 2003, SATS will
select candidate technologies for experimental flight evaluation based on their impact on mobility—either through reduced system cost, improved doorstep-to-destination time, increased trip reliability, and/or improved safety—and complete
initial lower landing minimum and higher volume flight experiments. Building on its altitude world-record-setting performances, the Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor
Technology (ERAST) project will demonstrate a solar power
unpiloted air vehicle with the ability to fly 14 hours above
50,000 feet. The accomplishment of this goal could have significant impact on the application of these systems in disaster
relief, communications, environmental sensing, and defense.
The second goal, Advance Space Transportation, will create
a safe, affordable highway through the air and into space
by improving safety, reliability, and operability, and significantly reducing the cost of space transportation systems. With
the creation of the Integrated Space Transportation Plan
(ISTP), NASA defined a single, integrated investment strategy
for all its space transportation efforts, including Space Shuttle
safety investments, the Space Launch Initiative (SLI), and
3rd Generation Space Transportation Technology. By investing in a sustained progression of research and technology
development, NASA will enable future generations of reusable
launch vehicles and in-space transportation systems that will
surmount the Earth-to-orbit challenge and allow less costly,
more frequent, and more reliable access to neighboring planets and the stars beyond. As planned in the 2002 Budget,
the President’s 2003 Budget request includes an increase in
funding for the Space Launch Initiative (SLI), which supports
the 2nd Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Program.
In 2001, NASA awarded 23 contracts under the 2nd Generation RLV Program for study and risk reduction activities
across many technical areas, including: airframes, vehicle subsystems, operations, integrated vehicle health management,
flight mechanics, NASA-unique systems, and propulsion. In
2003, the Main Engine Prototype Critical Design Review and
the Systems Requirements Review will be complete and the
Architecture Systems Requirements Document will be
baselined. Upon completion of these activities, NASA will

downselect to a minimum of two space transportation architectures for continued development based on their ability to
meet safety and affordability goals. This selection will determine what architectures and critical technology developments
will be continued through 2006. The successful completion
of 2nd Generation RLV Program risk reduction and technology development will enable a mid-decade competition to
transition all of NASA’s launch needs, including human space
flight, to safer, lower cost, commercially competitive, privately
operated vehicles at the turn of the decade. In 3rd Generation
Space Transportation Technology, the Department of Defense
and NASA have collaborated on an integrated science and
technology plan for hypersonics research, the National
Hypersonic Science and Technology Plan (NHP), which defines a national effort to address numerous challenges. The
plan addresses airbreathing propulsion or, in some cases, combined rocket/airbreathing (RBCC) or turbine/airbreathing propulsion (TBCC) cycles. While pure rockets have already
achieved hypersonic speeds, airbreathing technologies could
offer significant benefits over rocket propulsion in performance and cost. In 2003, NASA will complete the independent
evaluation of three competing, revolutionary hypersonic propulsion technology systems demonstrations, including an
RBCC engine, a TBCC engine and a scramjet engine.
The third goal, Pioneer Technology Innovation, focuses on
broad, crosscutting innovations critical to a number of NASA
missions and to the aerospace industry in general. Pursuing
technology fields that are in their infancy today, developing
the knowledge bases necessary to design radically new aerospace systems, and developing tools for efficient, high-confidence design and development will enable a revolution in
aerospace. The Administration’s request includes a significant
investment in computing and information technology developments and also increases investment in biotechnology and
nanotechnology—the revolutionary technologies of the 21st
Century. To ensure the highest quality research and strong
ties to NASA’s missions—Space Science, Earth Science, Biological and Physical Research, Human Space Flight, and Aerospace Technology—these investments will be guided by technology development agreements signed by customers in other
NASA Enterprises.
Beginning in 2002, NASA will have the National Academy
of Sciences undertake reviews of one of these three program
areas—Revolutionize Aviation, Advance Space Transportation,
and Pioneer Technology Innovation—every three years. These
reviews will provide independent assessments of the quality
of NASA’s technology research and program planning, whether the research can be performed by universities or corporations outside NASA, and how well NASA’s technology research integrates with customer needs. In each of these program areas, NASA will also seek to reduce institutional costs
at it field centers so more funds can be invested in technology
research through openly competed NASA research announcements and through university and industry partnerships.
The fourth goal, Commercialize Technology, extends the
commercial application of NASA technology for economic benefit and improved quality of life. By partnering with both
aerospace and non-aerospace industry as well as academia,
the full range of NASA’s assets—technological expertise, new
technologies, and research facilities—are made available to
help the Nation.
Academic Programs.—Academic Programs has two components: (1) Education Program and (2) Minority University
Program. Since the creation of NASA, the agency has made
a substantial commitment to education. NASA’s contribution
to education has been and is based on the Agency’s inspiring
mission, specialized workforce, close working relationship
with the research and education community, and unique
world-class facilities. Based on these attributes, NASA has
created a comprehensive education program containing a port-

folio of activities directed toward education at all levels. The
guidance for the Education Program stated in the NASA Strategic Plan: ‘‘Educational Excellence: We involve the educational community in our endeavors to inspire America’s students, create learning opportunities, and enlighten inquisitive
minds.’’ NASA’s Education Program brings students and educators at all levels into its missions and its research as participants and partners, providing opportunities for a diverse
group of students and educators to experience first hand involvement with NASA personnel, facilities, and research and
development activities.
The Minority University Research Program has a goal to:
expand NASA’s research base by strengthening the research
capabilities of minority universities and colleges; contribute
to the scientific and technological workforce; and promote educational excellence. The range of activities conducted under
this program will continue to capture the interest of all students in science and technology, develop talented students
at the undergraduate and graduate levels, provide research
opportunities for students and faculty members at NASA centers, and strengthen and enhance the research capabilities
of the Nation’s colleges and universities.
Together, these two components of the Academic Programs
budget provide guidance for the Agency’s interaction with
both the formal and informal education community.

Research and program management.—In 2001, this activity
provided for the salaries, travel support, other personnel expenses of the entire NASA civil service workforce, and includes vital support to the physical plant at the Centers and
at NASA Headquarters.
Construction of facilities.—In 2001, this activity provided
for facility construction activities to preserve NASA’s infrastructure and enable NASA’s missions; environmental compliance and restoration activities, design of facilities projects,
and advanced planning and critical functional leadership activities related to future facilities needs. Activities in support
of construction projects to repair, revitalize and modernize
the basic infrastructure and institutional facilities at NASA
centers will continue with the major focus on eliminating
safety-related concerns. Increasing attention is being given
to activities in support of environmental compliance and restoration requirements.

and advanced concepts activities supporting agency programs;
salaries and related expenses in support of research in NASA
field installations; design, repair, rehabilitation and modification of institutional facilities and construction of new institutional facilities; and other operations activities supporting
conduct of agency programs.
Since 2002, NASA has implemented a two-appropriation
budget (excluding the Inspector General account). The twoappropriation budget (Human Space Flight (HSF) and
Science, Aeronautics and Technology (SAT)) is NASA’s first
step at transitioning to a full cost budget. While full cost
will ultimately integrate institutional and programmatic
funds into a single budget, that integration is done in a stepwise manner, by providing for a mission support budget line
under each Enterprise and eliminating the present mission
support appropriation. This initial step will begin to recognize, budget, and track direct full time eqivalent (FTE) personnel associated at the Enterprise level and then use this
FTE data to distribute other-than-direct (OTD) institutional
costs (Research and Program Management and non-programmatic Construction of Facilities) using the relative percentages of direct FTE’s by Enterprise.
This means the distribution of the OTD resources takes
advantage of a basic assumption, to be used prior to the
existence of cost and service pools, that FTE’s are a reasonable relative indicator at the Enterprise level of required facility and institutional capabilities. Taking this step will help
program/project personnel and decision makers begin to understand the potential magnitude of institutional funds that
are associated with each Enterprise in preparation for the
day when full cost budgeting will distribute these funds most
appropriately to the project level via the appropriate cost/
service pools.
Beginning in 2002, there is no longer a Mission Support
account. Institutional costs will be budgeted within HSF and
SAT (as discussed above) and safety, mission assurance and
engineering will be budgeted within the HSF account.
NASA plans to control personnel levels through full time
permanent (FTP) civil servant positions while continuing to
track full time equivalent positions, as done in the past. This
will allow NASA more flexibility in the use of non-permanent
positions for short-term technical needs as well as co-op and
intern programs.
