    CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE MAY 1988 A SPECIAL STUDY THE NASA PROGRAM IN THE 1990s AND BEYOND The Congress of the United States Congresssional Budget Of'f'ice NOTES All costs are expressed in 1988 dollars of budget authority, unless otherwise noted. All years are fiscal years, except when applied to launch schedules. PREFACE The United States space program stands at a crossroads. The momentum of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program over the last 20 years has brought NASA to a point where new activities will require substantial increases in the agency's budget. Critics of the NASA program have called for even more ambi- tious goals, most prominently an expansion of manned space flight to the Moon or Mars. Fiscal concerns, however, may limit even the more modest set of activities envisioned by NASA. This special study, requested by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Trans- portation, examines the broad options for the U.S. space program in the 1990s. In keeping with the mandate of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide objective nonpartisan analysis, the report makes no recommendations. David H. Moore, of CBO's Natural Resources and Commerce Division, prepared the report under the supervision of Everett M. Ehrlich. Frances M. Lussier of CBO's National Security Division and Michael Sieverts of CBO's Budget Analysis Division provided valu- able comments and assistance. Many outside reviewers made useful comments and criticisms. Amanda Balestrieri edited the manuscript. Margaret Cromartie prepared early drafts of the report, and Kathryn Quattrone prepared the final draft for publication.

  • Solar System Exploration: a Vision for the Next Hundred Years
    IAC-04-IAA.3.8.1.02 SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION: A VISION FOR THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS R. L. McNutt, Jr. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Laurel, Maryland, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT The current challenge of space travel is multi-tiered. It includes continuing the robotic assay of the solar system while pressing the human frontier beyond cislunar space, with Mars as an ob- vious destination. The primary challenge is propulsion. For human voyages beyond Mars (and perhaps to Mars), the refinement of nuclear fission as a power source and propulsive means will likely set the limits to optimal deep space propulsion for the foreseeable future. Costs, driven largely by access to space, continue to stall significant advances for both manned and unmanned missions. While there continues to be a hope that commercialization will lead to lower launch costs, the needed technology, initial capital investments, and markets have con- tinued to fail to materialize. Hence, initial development in deep space will likely remain govern- ment sponsored and driven by scientific goals linked to national prestige and perceived security issues. Against this backdrop, we consider linkage of scientific goals, current efforts, expecta- tions, current technical capabilities, and requirements for the detailed exploration of the solar system and consolidation of off-Earth outposts. Over the next century, distances of 50 AU could be reached by human crews but only if resources are brought to bear by international consortia. INTRODUCTION years hence, if that much3, usually – and rightly – that policy goals and technologies "Where there is no vision the people perish.” will change so radically on longer time scales – Proverbs, 29:181 that further extrapolation must be relegated to the realm of science fiction – or fantasy.

During the session, Gilbrech reviewed center activities from the previous year and presented goals and objectives for Stennis to provide world- class propulsion test services to NASA and other customers, while also fostering an entrepreneur-friendly environment for commercial companies to design, manufacture, assemble and test space launch hardware. Stennis also plans to continue efficient support of site agencies and to provide opportuni- ties for development, testing and operation of unmanned autonomous systems, Gilbrech noted. In addition, Stennis remains one of the top places to work in the federal government, as reflected in annual employee surveys by Partnership for Public Service. 2018 Hurricane Season Guide appears at end of this issue Page 2 LAGNIAPPE June 2018 Did you notice Sally Ride was in the news last month?
