Astrophysics Division 9 Hubble SM-4 Current Status A spare Science Instrument Command and Data Handling System is available at GSFC and will begin Flight Acceptance for delivery by January The Agency has determined that the Hubble telescope servicing should restore C&DH system redundancy. SOMD is studying launch options in light of these developments. (Target “work to” date of Feb 17, 2009.) Some FY09 Science Operations funds, including GO budget, will be redirected to help fund the launch slip (~$10M/mo). On September 27, at 8:10 PM EDT, the Hubble Observatory safed the instruments and payload computer. An investigation of the Hubble safing incident indicated a complete loss of the Control Unit/Science Data Formatter - Side A, which is part of the spacecraft Command and Data Handling system. Activities are underway to switch the Hubble Observatory over to Side B, in order to allow science observing to resume. This is the first time Side B has been exercised since before launch.

Astrophysics Division 32 Funding History by Level-3 WBS

Astrophysics Division 33 In mid-April 2008, the Budget Targets were increased to 100% of the Annual Targets of $57,301,000 for WBS (APRA, ATFP, OSS) and $12,013,000 for WBS (ADP/LTSA). The Targets for WBS were subsequently reduced by $3.2M (the ADP “bow wave”) so that those funds could be used elsewhere. The Targets for WBS were reduced to reflect end-of-year pullback of funds from the Centers that were not going to be spent. We have requested and released $56.9M (99%) in WBS and $8.8M (100%) in WBS Funding Released… from… from From HQHGAO/WFFNSSC WBS (Universe R&A) xx.01 (APRA: X-ray, Gamma-ray)100% 100%~100% xx.02 (ATFP)100% 100%~100% xx.03 (APRA: Particle Astrophysics)100% 100%~100% xx.05 (APRA: UV, Opt)100% 100% ~100% xx.06 (APRA: IR, Sub-mm)100% 100%~100% xx.07 (Origins of Solar Systems)100% 100%~100% xx.10 (Strategic Missions Concept Studies)100% 100%~100% WBS (ADP/LTSA)100% 100% ~100% FY2008 Grants Status
