Implementing the Earth Science Flight Program CLARREO’s Place in the Program

1. Implementing the Earth Science Flight ProgramCLARREO’s Place in the Program Ken Jucks, CLARREO Program Scientist, for Dr. Stephen Volz Associate Director for Flight Programs Earth Science Division, Science Mission Directorate

2. Outline • We are building a balanced, broad spectrum Program • New Budget outlook and what it means • Charter for DESDynI & CLARREO

3. NASA Earth Science Efforts Concentrated in 6 Areas Flight projects Data Systems Research & Analysis Applied Science Earth Science Technology E/PO • Planning, Building and operating Earth observing satellite missions, most with international and/or interagency partners • Making high-quality data products available to the broad science community • Conducting and sponsoring cutting-edge research in 6 thematic focus areas • Field campaigns to complement satellite measurements • Modeling • Analyses of non-NASA mission data • Conducting an Applied Science program to improve the utilization of the data through the U.S. • Developing technologies to improve Earth observation capabilities, providing the seed technologies for the next generation of earth observing instruments • Education and Public Outreach

6. ESD Implementation Approach – Prior to the Climate Initiative • We are working to develop a Program, not just fly individual missions, and are flying 1-2 missions every year well into the next decade • Complete the foundational missions as planned and as fast as possible • Complete the Decadal Survey 1st Tier missions as quickly as possible • See http://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/ 2010: Aquarius & Glory ($700M) 2011: NPP ($900M) 2012: LDCM ($950M) 2013: GPM ($1,000M) Venture Class calls – 2009, 2011, 2012, … 2014: SMAP ($700M) 2015: ICESat-2 ($750M) 2019: DESDynI (>$1,000M/TBR) 2019: CLARREO ($900M/TBR)

7. New Budget & What It Means

8. President’s FY2011 Budget for Earth Science FY11 President’s Budget BUDGET ($M) FY10 President’s Budget FY09 President’s Budget

9. EARTH AUGMENTATION ALLOCATIONS • Initiative and additional funds specified that a broad climate based response was required, much more than simply accelerating the Decadal Survey missions Initiative Distribution Between Flight and Non-Flight All figures in $M

10. ESD Climate Implementation Approach • We are working to develop a Program, not just fly individual missions, and are flying 1-2 missions every year well into the next decade 2010: Glory ($450M) 2011: Aquarius & NPP ($1,300M) 2012: LDCM ($950M) 2013: GPM ($1,000M) Venture Mission Class calls – 2009, 2011, 2013, … Venture Instrument calls – 2011, 2012, 2013, … 2013: OCO-2 ($330M) 2014: SMAP & SAGE III ($900M) 2015: ICESat-2 ($750M) 2016: GRACE FO ($375M) 2017: DESDynI, CLARREO-1 & EV-2 ($2,300M) 2019: PACE ($900M) 2020: CLARREO-2, ASCENDS & SWOT ($1,300M) • Complete the foundational missions as planned • Complete the DS 1st Tier missions by 2017, and move out with DS 2nd Tier and Climate Missions

11. More Earth Observing Satellites Launched

12. Charter for DESDynI & CLARREO

13. Earth Science Commitments in Response to Augmentation • Our Commitments are: • To complete all 1st Tier DS missions by 2017 • SMAP & ICESat-2 requirements are established and their approaches defined. We will not revisit them. • To initiate a series of climate measurements • GRACE Follow-On, SAGE III, OCO-2, Pre-ACE or PACE • We will start the 2nd Tier missions, with twolaunches by 2020 • DESDynI & CLARREO as outlined in the Decadal Survey and as interpreted by the mission teams were too large, too expensive, and imbalanced the integrated Earth Science program. • Both missions needed to be redefined to fit within strict budget constraints, to meet the overall ESD Program objectives. • Redefinition must include a review and reassessment of all mission parameters: science, risk, and implementation approach.

14. CLARREO Charter • Excerpt from the Climate Plan already vetted through the USGCRP and submitted to Congress June 25: • Similar wording was included for the DESDynI mission The CLARREO mission included in this plan shall be implemented within a defined cost constraint that supports the development of a scientifically viable CLARREO mission with an initial launch in 2017 as one important element of a robust, integrated Earth Science program. Leading up to the start of the CLARREO mission in early FY2011 NASA will complete a comprehensive review of the integrated science performance requirements and the required engineering implementation to deliver the essential CLARREO mission objectives. As NASA refines the CLARREO mission it will evaluate program options that meet the primary CLARREO unique science objectives while maintaining the balance and integrity of the overall Earth system science objectives.
