SMD Update
SMD Science Program Leads The World ! $5.5b/year 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.
SMD Major Activities: Next 12 months
But Strong Community Concerns Have Been Stated ! NASA and SMD!s budgets are not growing.
! SMD future flight rates have been declining. ! Research funds have been cut. ! Progress on decadal survey objectives has been slow. ! SMD has been slow or simply unresponsive to these issues and others.

Draft: January 14, 2008
We Intend To Fully Meet These Issues Head On ! By controlling costs to increase flight rates. ! By rebalancing queues to increase flight rates. ! By expanding foreign collaborations. ! By repairing R&A processes & budgets. ! By ensuring missions fully fund their science. ! By valuing responsiveness to community concerns.
Some Actions We Have Taken Since Arriving In April ! Avoided >$150m in overruns. ! Funded four new SMEX explorer missions, replacing one MIDEX. ! Increased Suborbital Rocket and Balloon flight rates. ! Entered into partnerships for both an Outer Planet flagship and solar orbiter. !Taken R&A off the table for cuts. ! And initiated an effort to simplify AOs .
And We!ve Had Five SMD New Mission Starts Since April ! Astrophysics: NuStar Small Explorer. ! Heliophysics: BARREL MoO. ! Planetary: GRAIL Discovery mission and the NeXT and EPOXI comet flyby MoOs.
More Flight Program Changes Are Afoot ! We!re making $70M available in Explorer Mission of Opportunity (MoO) funding. ! We!ve initiated an annual MoO AO beginning in 2008, to foster more international collaboration opportunities. ! We!ve worked to find an affordable, non-nuclear Solar Probe mission capable of being funded. ! And we desire an Exoplanets program that keeps NASA!s Astrophysics portfolio healthy.
R&A Changes Have Also Been Made ! We established the SARA position within SMD. ! We provided a mailbox for complaints and feedback about R&A programs ([email protected]). ! We eliminated a backlog of hundreds of no-cost extension requests. ! We adopted widespread funding of 4-year grants. ! We no longer redact budgets from review panels in ROSES-08. ! We accelerated grant win notifications after panel reviews, from months to weeks.

Higher Flight Rates Depend On You Too ! We need your help to achieve better cost control and a more balanced program, leading to faster progress in the accomplishing decadal surveys. ! The community has to be part of the solution.
Decadal Survey 2010: One Part Of The Solution ! A baseline plan that fits in a baseline budget. ! Independent cost estimates that feed into mission prioritization. ! Trip wire costs above which a mission should be cancelled.
