3. Office of Exploration Systems BROKERING THE VISION FOR SPACE EXPLORATION The Business Side of the Journey to Inspire, Innovate, and Discover Dan W. Mabey Director of Business Operations July 15, 2004

4. The Vision for Space Exploration THE FUNDAMENTAL GOAL OF THIS VISION IS TO ADVANCE U.S. SCIENTIFIC, SECURITY, AND ECONOMIC INTEREST THROUGH A ROBUST SPACE EXPLORATION PROGRAM Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond Extend human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year 2020, in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations; Develop the innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures both to explore and to support decisions about the destinations for human exploration; and Promote international and commercial participation in exploration to further U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests.

5. The Vision for Space Exploration [Imperatives 1 – 9] 1. Return the Shuttle to safe flight as soon as practical, based on CAIB recommendations 2. Use Shuttle to complete ISS assembly 3. Retire the Shuttle after assembly complete (2010 target) 4. Focus ISS research to support exploration goals; understanding space environment and countermeasures 5. Meet foreign commitments 6. Undertake lunar exploration to support sustained human and robotic exploration of Mars and beyond 7. Series of robotic missions to Moon by 2008 to prepare for human exploration 8. Expedition to lunar surface as early as 2015 but no later than 2020 9. Use lunar activities to further science, and test approaches (including lunar resources) for exploration to Mars & beyond

6. The Vision for Space Exploration [Imperatives 10–18] 10. Conduct robotic exploration of Mars to prepare for future expedition 11. Conduct robotic exploration across solar system to search for life, understand history of universe, search for resources 12. Conduct advanced telescope searches for habitable environments around other stars 13. Demonstrate power, propulsion, life support capabilities for long duration, more distant human and robotic missions 14. Conduct human expeditions to Mars after acquiring adequate knowledge and capability demonstrations 15. Develop a new Crew Exploration Vehicle; flight test before end of decade; human exploration capability by 2014 Separate cargo from crew as soon as practical to support ISS; acquire crew transport to ISS after Shuttle retirement Pursue international participation Pursue commercial opportunity for transportation and other services

7. Key Elements of the Vision • Objectives • Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program • Extend human presence across the solar system and beyond • Develop supporting innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures • Promote international and commercial participation in exploration • Major Milestones • 2008: Initial flight test of CEV • 2008: Launch first lunar robotic orbiter • 2009-2010: Robotic mission to lunar surface • 2011 First Unmanned CEV flight • 2014: First crewed CEV flight • 2012-2015: Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter (JIMO)/Prometheus • 2015-2020: First human mission to the Moon

8. Preparing for Mars Exploration • Moon as a test bed to reduce risk for future human Mars missions • Technology advancement reduces mission costs and supportsexpanded human exploration • Systems testing and technology test beds to develop reliability in harsh environments. • Expand mission and science surface operations experience and techniques • Human and machine collaboration: Machines serve as an extension of human explorers, together achieving more than either can do alone • Breaking the bonds of dependence on Earth: (e.g./Life Science/Closed loop life support tests) • Power generation and propulsion development and testing • Common investments in hardware systems for Moon, Mars and other space objectives

9. Exploration Systems Program Management Perspective Building on Past Findings and “Lessons Learned” • Packard Commission Findings • Get operators and technologists together to enable the leveraging of cost-performance trades • Apply technology to lower cost of system, not just to increase its performance • Mature technology prior to entering engineering and systems development • Partnerships with Industry to identify innovative solutions • Report of the DSB/AFSAB (Young Report) • Requirements definition and control are dominant drivers of cost, schedule, and risk in space systems development programs

10. Exploration Systems Program Management Perspective Building on Past Findings and “Lessons Learned” • Task • Develop a consolidated database of “lessons learned” from human and robotic mission experience. Sample review areas: • Space Station / Shuttle • CAIB / Challenger report • Previous NASA reviews • Actions • Initiated task with Systems Management office at Langley Research Center. Topic areas defined to include: • Cultural Issues • Programmatic considerations • Technical/Engineering considerations • Communications • Ground Operations • Risk Assessment
