9. Earth Science Budget Features: What’s New Redefines the framework for satellite development projects:  NOAA responsible for satellite missions for weather and space weather forecasts and warnings  NASA responsible for development of all other non-defense Earth-observing satellite missions  NASA will implement a Sustainable Land Imaging program with USGS that will include: o TIR-FF (2019) o Upgraded Landsat-9 (2023) o Focused technology development to inform designs of Landsat-10+ o USGS will operate these satellites and collect, archive, process and distribute the data  NASA responsible for long-term altimetry measurements after Jason-3  NASA responsible for all future measurements of Solar Irradiance, Ozone Profile and Earth Radiation Budget Initiates formulation of PACE as a directed design-to-cost mission Completes development of OCO-3 for flight on ISS in 2017 Initiates formulation of CLARREO Pathfinder instruments for flight on ISS in 2019 Enhances Research, Applications and Technology Programs with funding to:  Improve understanding of coupled North Atlantic-Arctic system  Conduct research to understand linkages between oceans and climate  Transition InVEST from pilot to ongoing program to demonstrate instrument and subsystem technologies through flight in space on cubesats  Accelerate ramp-up of initiatives in Food Security, Freshwater Availability, and Disaster Response 9

10. Earth Science Budget Features: What’s the Same Balanced program comprising flight, research, data systems, applications and technology development to provide: – High quality global measurements of the Earth’s water, atmosphere, land and vegetation and their interactions – Research to understand … – Modeling capability to … – Free and open access to data and research results Continues operations of on-orbit research satellite constellation, consistent with Senior Review recommendations Advances development of CYGNSS, GRACE-FO, TEMPO, ICESat-2 and SWOT for launch before 2022 Continues formulation of NISAR mission with ISRO Completes development and test of SAGE-III for launch to the ISS in FY16 Continues Venture-Class competitive flight program element, with expanded opportunities Continues pre-formulation studies for Decadal survey-recommended missions Supports operation and data analysis of ISS-based instruments: CATS and RapidScat Funds initiatives for enhanced application of NASA Earth Science Data, including Carbon Monitoring System and joint NASA/USAID SERVIR 10
