3 Overall Findings SRC 2012 didn’t provide an overall rank-order They felt we have a minimum set of missions – nothing can be turned off SRC rated Missions in 5 Metrics: –Discovery Space, Long Term Impact, Publications/$, Synergy, Criticality SRC also considered missions among each class –Great Observatories: HST & Chandra –Discovery/Probe Class: Kepler, Fermi, Spitzer –Explorer: Swift –Foreign: Planck, Suzaku, XMM-Newton Overall Recommendations: Reduce cost of mission operations Increase GO funding 5/11/123Astro 2012 SR - Presentation to AAAC

5 2012 Senior Review Results Mission Result Chandra − Fully fund as budgeted thru FY16 − Augment Guest Observer Program at ½ Project request Fermi − Mission extension thru FY16 − Reduced budget starting in FY14 Hubble − Fully fund as budgeted Kepler − Extend mission operations thru FY16 − Augment Guest Observer and Participating Science Program at 1/2 Project request Planck − Fund US Support of 1-year extension of Low Frequency Instrument operations Spitzer − Extend ops thru FY14 − Closeout in FY15 Suzaku − Extend US Science support through March 2015 (Astro-H launch +1 year) Swift − Extend mission operations thru FY16 − Augment Guest Observer Program per Project request XMM-Newton − Extend US support through March 2015 Note: All FY15 and FY16 decisions will be revisited in the 2014 Senior Review.
