Agenda
• The Budget– FY11 President’s Budget Status– MEP Budget
• Miscellaneous News
• NASA-ESA Partnership for Mars Exploration—where are we now?
The Budget
• The FY11 President’s Budget– NASA Appropriations Bill passed last night
• ISS extended to at least 2020
• Additional Shuttle launch in CY11
• Continues Orion crew capsule and a new Space Launch System (70-100 tons to LEO)
• Create technology development program
• Pursue a commercial space flight capability
• $100M/year for a robotic human precursor program
• Science Program is basically stable– Slight increase for Planetary Science beginning in FY11
– Continued emphasis on international cooperation and collaboration
• Mars Program budget pressures continue, but outlook is much better than it has been in years!
– MSL in FY11/12– NLS-2 launch vehicle cost and performance– Earlier-than-usual milestones for 2016 and 2018 missions

NASA-ESA Joint Program Progress
• Management structure in place– Joint Mars Executive Board—meets regularly– Joint Engineering Working Groups for future mission concepts– Bi-Lateral next week (Dr. Southwood and Dr. Weiler)—meets twice yearly
• 2016 mission orbiter instruments selected! – ESA’s demo lander AO possible in early 2011—US will support science participation– Project office established in Mars Program Office at JPL
• Overall governance, documentation, review and approval processes, etc., maturing
– Operating under an approved LOA– MOU nearly final– Joint Executive Program Plan (JPEP) in negotiation– The joint Program will be reviewed in PSR/PIR for NASA APMC approval in May ‘10
• MSR working group recently established

Joint Program Summary
• While the FY11 budget isn’t approved yet, no radical changes are expected for MEP
– Continued MSL budget threats do exist for 2011 launch– Launch vehicle costs are going up—and performance is going down
• Partnering with ESA enables the next phase of Mars scientific exploration– A strong and productive partnership is developing!– 2016 and 2018 mission objectives and roles are defined and activities proceeding
rapidly– Lays the groundwork to bring a joint/international sample return mission to reality
• There are still challenges for the joint program– Maintaining partnership after first 2 missions through Mars Sample Return– Meshing different agency cultures– Completing 2016 early NASA milestones since ESA has a “head start”– Completing the MOU and JPEP is critical for stability
• Agency approval will come with Decadal Release and PSR/PIR
