STATE OF NASA - FY 2021 Budget Request

#NASA #SLS #ORION #ARTEMIS With the resources provided in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget request, NASA will: partner with commercial industry to build a Human Landing System, keeping NASA on track to land the first woman and the next American man on the lunar surface in 2024; launch American astronauts from American soil on American rockets to the International Space Station and embark on missions that will yield great scientific discoveries further advancing humanity’s knowledge of the universe.The Budget includes $12,371M for the Moon-to-Mars campaign that will send astronauts to the Moon and prepare for the exploration of Mars and beyond. • Includes $3,370M for the development of the lunar Human Landing System, the first directed funding for such a system since Apollo.• Fully supports the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, a heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle, and the Orion crew capsule; the systems needed for the first flights of Artemis to quickly and safely get to the Moon.• Develops initial elements of the Gateway, an outpost orbiting the Moon, which will serve as a staging point for the exploration of the Moon.• Enables regular, low-cost access to the lunar vicinity and surface through commercial launch capabilities.• Invests in technologies for long-term utilization and exploration of the lunar surface as well as key research and technology needed for Mars.• Funds Mars robotic exploration, including a Mars Sample Return mission and Mars Ice Mapper, as a precursor to human exploration.• Includes investments in the required capabilities, workforce, and facilities needed to ensure safety and mission success.Human Exploration and Operations - $12,949M• Includes $8,762M for Deep Space Exploration Systems and $4,187M for LEO and Spaceflight Operations.• Develops, in partnership with industry, a human lunar landing system,• Develops the Gateway, supports flight missions to the Moon, and research for future missions. • Builds the space transportation system made up of the Orion, SLS, and Exploration Ground Systems.• Defers funding for SLS upgrades to focus on achieving successful early flights and establishing an annual flight cadence.• Leverages the International Space Station (ISS) to identify risks to human health, develop countermeasures, and test technologies that protect astronauts, while supporting the growth of a commercial ecosystem in low Earth orbit and the development of commercial space station capabilities.• Continues NASA’s partnership with U.S. commercial space industry to develop and operate safe, reliable, and affordable systems to transport crew and cargo to and from the ISS, the Moon, and future commercial space stations in low-Earth orbit (LEO). Exploration Technology - $1,578 million • Delivers critical research and technology required to support lunar landings and surface activities.• Serves as a catalyst for enabling critical new lunar surface technologies required for humans to successfully operate on the lunar surface, such as In-SituResource Utilization, surface power, dust mitigation, and other exploration-related technologies including Solar Electric Propulsion and space nuclear technologies.• Continues technology research and development spanning the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) spectrum that meets NASA human and robotic exploration needs and supports commercial expansion in space
