  2. SMD’s Science Program Leads The World • $4.441B/yr budget. • Large Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, & astrophysics programs. • 53 flight missions in operation. • 41 flight missions in development. • 3000+ operating R&A grants. • These numbers exceed the combined efforts of all other Earth & space science programs of the World.

  3. SMD Major Activities: Next 12 months

  4. But SMD’s Science Over-Runs Are Debilitating COST OVERRUNS AND UNEXPECTED MISSION EXPENDITURES

  5. PRESENTATION OVERVIEW • FY09 SMD Budget Overview • Recent MEP History • Mars Next Decade • MSL Issues • Thought Questions

  6. FY09 PRESIDENT’S BUDGET: OVERVIEW

  7. We will get more science done within our budget. We will help ensure that U.S. Space Exploration Policy succeeds. We will promote U.S. leadership across all of SMD’s science disciplines. We will improve SMD’s actual and its perceived impact on, and relevance to, the public. We will create a better workplace. SMD MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

  8. SMD’S CROSS-CUTTING FY09 BUDGET OBJECTIVES • Accelerate the Earth Science Decadal Survey mission queue. • Increase space science R&A/MO&DA to get better value from our flight missions. • Increase the number of planned missions in all four of SMD’s science theme areas. • Support NRC Decadal Survey priorities. • Initiate an SMD lunar robotic science program. • Increase space science suborbital research programs to foster PI on-ramps, technology demonstration, and accomplish more science.

  9. NASA AND SMD PRESIDENT’S BUDGET: FY09-FY13

  10. SMD BUDGET BY SCIENCE THEME

  11. MAJOR FY09 BUDGET INITIATIVES • Increased commitment to Earth Science over 5 years. • Initiated seven new FY09 mission starts: more than in the past four budgets combined; at least one per SMD science area: • Earth Science: SMAP and IceSat II (2012, 2015 launches) • Astrophysics: JDEM (launch in 2014/2015) • Heliophysics: Solar Probe Plus (launch in 2015) • Planetary: Outer Planets Flagship (launch by 2017) small lunar science orbiter (launch by 2011), and lunar mini-landers (launch by 2014). • Substantial increases in astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science R&A/MO&DA. • Increased budgets for suborbital rockets and balloons. Baseline Plan

  13. SELECTED FY09 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: PLANETARY • Fund a new start for the outer planets flagship mission (LRD 2016/2017); fund Cassini through 2011. • Initiate a new lunar robotic science flight mission line, with first launch (LADEE small orbiter) by 2011, second launch (two ILN landers) by 2014. • Continue all existing Mars missions; launches in 2009, 2013, 2016; also fund US ExoMars participation for 2013 launch; initiate sample return studies leading to 2018 and 2020 MSR missions; augment Mars DA and R&A (58% FY08, 7% FY09, 11% by FY10). • Fully fund Juno (2011 launch) and New Frontiers 3 (2016 launch), as well as GRAIL (launch by 2011) and the next Discovery launch in 2014. • Augment general planetary R&A 29% in FY09.

  30. MSL

  31. MSL COST GROWTH HISTORY • August 2006: MSL Confirmed at a development (C/D) cost of $972M. • Program added $32M to increase reserves to 35% (~60% on the S-Curve). • Late ’06/early ’07: ~$20M in descopes were taken to control cost growth: • TLS, Corer, Sample Crusher, CheMin dual X-ray source, EDL latitude performance. • June ’07: MSL descopes and cash of $62M. Sources of growth included: • Instruments; SAM, CheMin, ChemCam, Malin Space Science Systems cameras. • Mechanical Design of Rover body, Corer/drill, Sample Acquisition/Sample Processing and Handling • Actuator Design • Thermal Protection System testing • Parts Procurements • Fabrication Services/Labor • Jan ’08:MSL estimated need for $165M-$200M cash. Sources of growth include: • Actuators, Thermal Protection System testing • Parts, Subsystems, Testing • Fabrication Services/Labor

  36. SOME THOUGHT QUESTIONS

  37. What does a balanced planetary program look like? • What should we fly for MEP 2016? • What Mars efforts could be proposed to Discovery and New Frontiers? • What Mars-Moon flight program synergies exist? • Is MSR the right central organizing theme? • Is there a serious science loss if MSL arrival • slips?
