FY09 PRESIDENT’S BUDGET:OVERVIEW

We will get more science done within ourbudget.

We will help ensure that U.S. SpaceExploration Policy succeeds.

We will promote U.S. leadership across allof SMD’s science disciplines.

We will improve SMD’s actual and itsperceived impact on, and relevance to,

the public.

We will create a better workplace.

MAJOR FY09 BUDGETINITIATIVES

Increased commitment to Earth Science to accelerate theES decadal survey.

Initiated seven new FY09 mission starts: more than in thepast four budgets combined; at least one per SMD sciencearea: 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 lunarmini-landers (launch by 2014).

Substantial increases in astrophysics, heliophysics, andplanetary science R&A/MO&DA.

Increased budgets for suborbital rockets and balloons.

MSL

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 Systemscameras.

– Mechanical Design of Rover body, Corer/drill, Sample Acquisition/SampleProcessing 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
