Brief Facts About NASA FY10 budget of $18.7B– $3.8B for Exploration Systems Mission Directorate– $4.5B for Science Mission Directorate– $0.5B for Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate– $3.1B for Cross-Agency Support– $6.8B Other

Headquarters plus 10 field centers ~18,350 FTEs and ~41,000 Contractor WYEs

NASA is investing nearly $121M (12%) of its ARRA funding to repair, upgrade, and/or build new facilities

These investments are preserving and creating jobs while promoting economic recovery

NASA Dual Use Facility Investments

NASA CAS Facility Investments

Johnson ($50M)– The purpose is to repair damage caused by

Hurricane Ike which occurred on September 13, 2008

– Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States

– Damages from Ike in US coastal and inland areas were estimated at $24 billion (2008 USD)

Hurricane Ike’s Impacts to JSC

JSC was closed for 6.5 business days The storm damage was estimated at close to

$90M

JSC’s Recovery Repairs Phase 0, I - Immediate, urgent repairs to safe the

site, continue operations, ($37.5M; complete) Phase II – Final phase of repairs ($50M from

ARRA; ~50% complete)– Replacement of 20 roofs, 2381 windows, 100+

street/parking/sidewalk lights– Repairs to exterior panels on 36 buildings and loggia

ledges on 11 buildings– Reconstruction of a destroyed aircraft hangar – Safing of a damaged barge dock– Replacement of damaged carpeting

Roof repairs• Meeting Energy Star standards (20%-30% improvement)• Abating asbestos and lead• Designing roof for 150 MPH uplift

Lights• Energy draw is 60% less

Windows• Low-e coating, no air/water leakage

Building panels• Waterproofing• Abating PCBs in old caulking

JSC’s Sustainability Benefits

Back Up

$166M for human spaceflight Project Orion $51M to support development of commercial

crew capabilities and human rating requirements

$15M to accelerate a common docking system for the International Space Station

$1.6M for refurbishment of ailerons on NASA’s WB-57 aircraft
