2O16 13–16 SEPTEMBER 2016 LONG BEACH, CA OPEN SPACE: OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY PROGRAM www.aiaa-space.org #aiaaSpace 16-1279 THE SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT. AT LOCKHEED MARTIN, WE’RE ENGINEERING A BETTER TOMORROW. For all the achievements of humanity’s early ventures into space, far greater wonders still await. Orion will carry explorers to bold missions to the far side of the moon, to near-Earth asteroids and to Mars—missions that will excite the imagination and advance the frontiers of science. Because at Lockheed Martin, we’re designing ships to go as far as the spirit of exploration takes us.

Every four years, the timing of this event puts us Christensen Federal Aviation in the middle of a national election, the results of which are sure to affect our community in The Tauri Group, LLC Administration ways not yet understood. 2016 is certainly no different, but putting politics aside, we should take a minute to celebrate all the good things that have happened since we last met in Pasadena: Juno’s orbit of Jupiter, the continuing growth of the commercial space sector, the ongoing work in readying the Space Launch System and Orion capsule for service, the continuing quest to find extrasolar planets as well as life on Mars, and so much more – it’s been a busy year. Each of these events give us much to be proud of as a community, as our work continues to capture the world’s imagination, turns our attention toward the heavens, and reminds us how we bring the world closer together by learning more about the universe around us. Scott Fouse Hiroyuki AIAA SPACE 2016 convenes leaders from government, industry, and academia, all committed Iwamoto to engage in the conversations and collaboration necessary to drive exploration, discovery, Lockheed Martin and innovation throughout the space community. Among the important plenary topics we Corporation Japan Aerospace will discuss this week are commercializing low Earth orbit and the ongoing preparation for Exploration Agency missions to Mars. Discussions in the plenary sessions will carry over to the Forum 360 sessions, allowing greater exploration and understanding of a diverse range of subjects including the ongoing expansion of commercial space exploration activities, how the Paris Agreement will influence Earth observation efforts, the ongoing efforts to expand on-orbit satellite servicing, space traffic management, and the global perspective on space exploration priorities, among so many more topics of conversation.

    A SpacePolicyOnline.Com Hearing Summary Confirmation of Charles Bolden and Lori Garver to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator of NASA Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee July 8, 2009 Chair: Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) Ranking Member: Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) Witnesses Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden (USMC, Ret.), nominee for Administrator (prepared statement) Ms. Lori Garver, nominee for Deputy Administrator (prepared statement) Background NASA has had an Acting Administrator, Christopher Scolese, since the resignation of Michael Griffin on January 20, 2009 with the change in administrations. The Deputy Administrator position has been vacant since January also, when Shana Dale resigned. Gen. Bolden and Ms. Garver were nominated by President Obama to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator on May 23, 2009. Gen. Bolden is a former NASA astronaut who flew on a space shuttle mission with now-Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) who was a congressman from Florida at the time. Ms. Garver has a broad background in space – from representing grass roots space enthusiasts as executive director of the National Space Society, to serving at NASA at Associate Administrator for Policy during the tenure of Administrator Dan Goldin, to representing private sector space efforts as a consultant for the past eight years. She competed with singer Lance Bass to become a “space tourist” on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in the early 2000’s, but neither was able to raise the requisite funding. She was a key adviser to the Hillary Clinton campaign on space issues, and moved to the Obama campaign after he won the Democratic nomination. A webcast of the hearing is available here.

    NASA’s Space Launch System and Deep Space Opportunities for Smallsats 1) 2) 3) By Dr. Paul S. Bookout, Andrew A. Schorr, and Beverly A. Perry 1,2) NASA’s Space Launch System Program, Spacecraft Payload Integration and Evolution Office, NASA, Huntsville, Alabama, USA 3) Space Launch System Program, Strategic Communications Office, NASA, Huntsville Alabama, USA Designed to provide the significant capability required for human deep-space exploration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Space Launch System (SLS) also provides an exceptional opportunity for lower-cost deep-space science in the form of small-satellite (smallsat) secondary payloads. This opportunity will be leveraged beginning with the rocket’s first flight; a launch of the SLS’s Block 1 configuration, capable of delivering >26 metric tons (t) to Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI), which will see the Orion crew vehicle travel around the Moon and return to Earth. On that flight, SLS will also deploy 13 6U-class CubeSat secondary payloads to multiple destinations including deep space. Preparations are already under way for future vehicle configurations, with the more capable Block 1B, able to deliver 40 metric tons to TLI. That configuration will have the capability to carry large payloads co-manifested with the Orion spacecraft, or to utilize an 8.4-meter (m) fairing to carry payloads several times larger than are currently possible. SLS will evolve to its full Block 2 configuration, with a TLI capability of >45 metric tons. This paper will provide a status of the SLS development and outline the progress being made toward flying smallsats on SLS, and discuss future opportunities for smallsats.

    Remarks for International Space Development Conference Shana Dale Deputy Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration

    Remarks for International Space Development Conference Shana Dale Deputy Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration May 5, 2006 Thank you Hugh (Hugh Downs, Chairman of the Board of Governors and an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors for the National Space Society) for that very gracious introduction. It is indeed a great honor to be introduced by a gentleman who is a universally respected leader in the space community, and who also had the distinction as NBC Today Show host of broadcasting the drama of the first great era of lunar exploration. And Hugh, I can’t wait for you to be able to provide expert commentary the next time an American astronaut renews the exploration of the moon. Thanks again Hugh for the honor of speaking today. I’m excited to be here today and to be speaking to a group that is enthusiastic about space exploration and the endless possibilities that it promises. Another reason for my enthusiasm is the diversity that is represented here in the form of different 1 backgrounds and professional fields, from scientists, entrepreneurs, business people, broadcasters, government representatives, academics and many others all linked by a passion for space exploration and a drive to make space our own. I just met with a group of space entrepreneurs yesterday, many of whom are in the audience, and it was impossible to walk away from that meeting with anything but the utmost respect at the commitment these individuals are making in their quest for space. They are risking their lives and fortunes to do something extremely complex and yes, dangerous.

    AIAA Space 2017 NASA’s Space Launch System: Deep-Space Opportunities for SmallSats Dr. Kimberly F. Robinson [email protected] Andrew A. Schorr [email protected] NASA’s Space Launch System Marshall Space Flight Center Designed for human exploration missions into deep space, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) represents a new spaceflight infrastructure asset, enabling a wide variety of unique utilization opportunities. While primarily focused on launching the large systems needed for crewed spaceflight beyond Earth orbit, SLS also offers a game-changing capability for the deployment of small satellites to deep-space destinations, beginning with its first flight. Currently, SLS is making rapid progress toward readiness for its first launch in two years, using the initial configuration of the vehicle, which is capable of delivering 70 metric tons (t) to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). On its first flight test of the Orion spacecraft around the moon, accompanying Orion on SLS will be small-satellite secondary payloads, which will deploy in cislunar space. The deployment berths are sized for “6U” CubeSats, and on EM-1 the spacecraft will be deployed into cislunar space following Orion separate from the SLS Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage. Payloads in 6U class will be limited to 14 kg maximum mass. Secondary payloads on EM-1 will be launched in the Orion Stage Adapter (OSA). Payload dispensers will be mounted on specially designed brackets, each attached to the interior wall of the OSA. For the EM-1 mission, a total of fourteen brackets will be installed, allowing for thirteen payload locations.

    Fact Sheet Final Issue: January 16, 2020 NASA's FY2020 BUDGET

    Fact Sheet Final Issue: January 16, 2020 NASA’S FY2020 BUDGET REQUEST SUMMARY On December 20, 2019, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act (H. R. 1185, P.L. 116-93), which includes the FY2020 Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) appropriations bill that funds NASA. The law provides $22.629 billion for NASA, very close to the amended request of $22.616 billion, although how the money is to be spent is different than requested. The amended request was composed of $21.019 billion requested on March 11, 2019, plus a supplemental request on May 13 for $1.6 billion to fund the Artemis program to accelerate the return of astronauts to the Moon by four years – from 2028 to 2024. The original request on March 11 for $21.019 billion was a cut of $481 million from the FY2019 enacted level of $21.500 billion. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, other NASA officials, and text in NASA’s budget documentation characterized it as an increase in funding, even though it was a reduction. To create their narrative, they compared it to how much Trump requested for FY2019, not how much was appropriated by Congress. Just two weeks later, however, Vice President Pence directed NASA to accelerate its plans to return astronauts to the Moon, resulting in the supplemental request on May 13. • The House Appropriations Committee reported its CJS bill, H.R. 3055, on May 22, 2019 (H. Rept. 116-101). It passed the House on June 25, 2019 after three other appropriations bills were added to it creating a package referred to as “Minibus 2.” The House bill funded NASA at $22.315 billion, an increase of $815 million over FY2019; $1.296 billion more than the original (March 11) budget request; and $300 million less than the amended (May 13) request.
