CSRP NASA Workshop NASA’s Revised Budget

CSRP NASA Workshop NASA’s New Vision and Objectives (as of January 14, 2004)  VISION  The fundamental goal of this vision is to advance U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests through a robust space exploration program. In support of this goal, the United States will:  GOALS  Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond;  Extend human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year 2020, in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations;  Develop the innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures both to explore and to support decisions about the destinations for human exploration; and  Promote international and commercial participation in exploration to further U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests.

CSRP NASA Workshop Key Implementation Points  Retire the Space Shuttle as soon as assembly of the International Space Station is completed  Undertake lunar exploration activities to enable sustained human and robotic exploration of Mars and more distant destinations in the solar system  Develop and demonstrate key capabilities required to support more distant, more capable, and/or longer duration human and robotic exploration of Mars and other destinations  Develop a new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV)  Modular system where components could be mixed and matched to return crews from the ISS, as well as transport people on lunar and deep-space voyages.

CSRP NASA Workshop Implementation Details (Space Exploration Beyond Low Earth Orbit) The Moon  Series of robotic missions, starting no later than 2008  First extended human expedition to the lunar surface as early as 2015, but no later than 2020  Lunar exploration activities to further science, and to develop and test new approaches, technologies, and systems Mars and Other Destinations  Robotic exploration of Mars to search for evidence of life, to understand the history of the solar system, and to prepare for future human exploration  Robotic exploration across the solar system for scientific purposes and to support human exploration  Advanced telescope searches for Earth-like planets and habitable environments around other stars  Develop and demonstrate power generation, propulsion, life support, and other key capabilities required to support more distant, more capable, and/or longer duration human and robotic exploration of Mars and other destinations  Human expeditions to Mars after acquiring adequate knowledge about the planet using robotic missions and after successfully demonstrating sustained human exploration missions to the Moon.

CSRP NASA Workshop Why a PSU NASA Opportunities Workshop? Questions PSU Opportunities Peer-to-Peer Process Ask strategic questions Listen to all ideas Align with NASA’s visions Focus PSU’s efforts Catalyze new opportunities PSU a strong NASA partner

CSRP NASA Workshop Step 1 - Goals GOALS of the Great Rotation:  Gather information from all the participants in a relatively short period of time  Prioritize information and develop common ground  Identify organizational issues that need to be dealt with effectively  Insure the full participation of all the participants in the diagnostic activity  Quickly summarize the results for action Row 1Row

CSRP NASA Workshop Step 2 –Information Summary 11 Peers meet in numbered groups for 20 minutes to discuss, analyze and classify results and record conclusions One peer from each numbered group provides a 5-10 minute summary to the overall group 1 1 Flip chart Row 1Row Each team selects -scribe -briefer

CSRP NASA Workshop Step 3 - Prioritize and Take Action CSRP summarizes priorities and provides report CSRP distributes report, request feedback and develops action plan Summary Report Priorities Action Plan Tasks

CSRP NASA Workshop QUESTIONS 1.Where are the new opportunities for PSU arising from NASA’s new vision? 2.What strengths does PSU have that align with the vision? 3.What new capabilities will add to PSU’s success? 4. What partnerships (internal and external) are needed to achieve success?
