Science Budget Strategy • To support Space Operations Mission Directorate requirements within a fixed Agency budget, reductions to previous Science planning are necessary • Science gets 1.5% growth from FY06 to 07, 1% per year thereafter • $3.1B decrease from FY06 Budget runout • Strategy for Adjustments • Develop an executable program based on strategic National Academy science priorities
Astrophysics Division What’s Changed: • SIM LRD no-earlier-than 2015/2016; TPF deferred; Keck Outriggers cancelled • JWST cost growth estimates incorporated for 2013 LRD • HST SM-4 scheduled for early FY 2008 • A review of SOFIA will be held in 2006 in order to determine the best course of action • GLAST completed a schedule and cost re-baseline mainly due to development problems with the LAT; LRD no-earlier-than September 2007 • Kepler confirmation baseline established; WISE confirmation review conducted, budget assumes the project will enter development in 2006 • Research & Analysis funding reduced approximately 15% • Herschel and Planck budgets adjusted to reflect changes in schedule • A re-plan of the Beyond Einstein Program (LISA, Con-X and JDEM) will be conducted to determine which mission will be selected to proceed first What’s Stayed the Same: • Chandra operations and data analysis will continue through 2011 • Spitzer operations will continue through lifetime of cryogenic mission • Maintain support for NASA work associated with Herschel and Planck • Ap SR to be held in April for review of smaller operating missions
