Public Benefits of the FY14 NASA Budget
3

Overview

 The Budget ensures that the United States remains 

the world's leader in space exploration and scientific 

discovery, while positioning America to out-innovate 

our competitors and inspire the next generation of 

technology leaders.

 It keeps us on track to launch American astronauts 

from U.S. soil in 2017 and expands the use of the 

International Space Station to improve life on Earth 

and help make the next great leaps in scientific 

discovery and exploration.

 The plan invests in American ingenuity, drives 

innovation and helps create new transportation 

systems to reach low-Earth orbit and end our reliance 

on foreign launch providers.

 It supports development of the Space Launch System 

and Orion crew vehicle for deep space human 

exploration to an asteroid and Mars. 
4

Overview (continued)

 The budget continues critical investments in the cuttingedge technologies needed to execute the nation’s 

exploration and discovery goals, providing spinoff 

benefits to the U.S. space industry, other government 

space activities, and Americans in their everyday lives. 

 It advances both aviation and space technologies to 

expand the nation’s capabilities in the skies and in space, 

fuel economic growth, create new jobs and expand 

opportunities for a skilled workforce.

 The plan continues to build on our nation's record of 

breathtaking and compelling scientific discoveries and 

achievements in space, with science missions that will 

reach farther into our solar system, reveal unknown 

aspects of our universe and provide critical knowledge 

about our home planet.
5

Overview (continued)

 The budget advances technologies to carry out the 

first-ever mission to identify, capture and redirect an 

asteroid, meeting the President’s challenge to send 

astronauts to an asteroid by 2025.

 This innovative work will continue to inspire the next 

generation of scientists, technologists, engineers and 

astronauts.

2014 Highlights

 Fully funds the Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket 

and Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, (Orion MPCV) to carry 

astronauts to deep space, and the systems needed to 

assemble, test and launch the new vehicles. Funding enables 

an uncrewed flight test of Orion in 2014 and the SLS in 2017. 

 Fully funds the Commercial Crew Program -- our plan to restore 

America’s human space launch capability -- at a necessary 

level to ensure we’re flying missions by 2017 and that our 

astronauts are launching from U.S. soil on spacecraft built by 

American companies. The Commercial Cargo Program is 

funded to keep already successful operations on track. 
7

2014 Highlights (cont.)

 Sustains the operations and vital research 

astronauts perform each day aboard our unique 

orbiting national laboratory, the International 

Space Station (ISS), that are helping us 

understand how to live and work in space for the 

long term, demonstrate technologies and 

undertake scientific research not possible on 

Earth. 

 Enhances investment in crucial and cutting edge 

space technologies, such as advanced in-space 

propulsion and space propellant storage, which 

will increase what we can do in space, bring the 

cost of exploration down, and pave the way for 

other government and commercial space 

activities.

 Strengthens NASA's important role in increasing 

efficiency and safety of air travel and pushing the 

boundaries of aeronautics technology, including 

a new initiative to make lighter composite 

materials more easily usable in aviation.
8

2014 Highlights (cont.)

 Funds crucial Earth Science land imaging 

capabilities beyond the recently launched 

Landsat Data Continuity Mission, 

development of climate sensors previously 

planned for launch on the Joint Polar 

Satellite System, and numerous other 

satellite and research efforts to help us 

understand the Earth’s systems and 

climate. 

 Continues construction of our next Great 

Observatory, the James Webb Space 

Telescope, keeping it on track to probe 

deeper into the universe than ever before 

when deployed in 2018.

 Following Curiosity’s daring landing on Mars, 

provides for a new Mars rover mission to launch 

in 2020, continued operations of rovers and 

orbiters already at Mars, and launch of MAVEN in 

November to study the Martian atmosphere.
9

2014 Highlights (cont.)

 To protect our planet, advance exploration capabilities 

and technologies for human space flight, and learn how 

to best utilize space resources, the FY14 budget aligns 

relevant portions of NASA’s science, space technology, 

and human exploration capabilities to meet the 

President’s challenge to send astronauts to an asteroid 

by 2025 and to Mars in the 2030s.

 In support of the Administration’s FY 2014 Science, 

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) 

Education plan, the Agency’s education efforts will be 

fundamentally restructured into a consolidated education 

program funded through the Office of Education, which 

will use competitive processes to fund the best education 

and public outreach programs within NASA and will 

coordinate closely with the Department of Education, the 

National Science Foundation, and the Smithsonian 

Institution to broaden the reach of NASA’s capability to 

inspire and educate.
10

Considerations

 Sequestration. The President believes we should replace sequestration with 

balanced deficit reduction.

 Out-year Funding Assumptions. In this time of national fiscal austerity, 

NASA has accepted the challenge to manage to a flat out-year top-line budget. 

Funding lines beyond FY 2014 should be considered notional. In general, 

NASA accounts are held at their FY 2014 request level with adjustments. 

 Campaign to Promote Efficient and Effective Spending. This budget 

continues NASA’s efforts to improve operational efficiency and maintains 

reduced spending for service contracting, travel, supplies and materials, printing 

and reproduction, and IT services.

 Aligning the NASA Workforce.

 Aligns human capital with the priority requirements of the Agency

 Reduces the rate of re-hiring in FY2014 consistent with budget limitations

 Presentation in full-cost, where all project costs are allocated to the project, 

including labor funding for the Agency’s civil service workforce.

 Comparisons to FY 2013. Due to the timing of budget development, FY 2013 

comparisons are to the full-year CR level in effect in the February time period.

FY 2014 Budget Request

Notes:

-- FY 2012 is consistent with submitted operating plans however, for comparability purposes, values for Space Technology reflect the funding for Space Technology related activities executed in Exploration, Space Operations, and 

Cross Agency Support. 

-- FY 2012 Estimates include rescission of prior year unobligated balances, pursuant to section 528(f) of P.L. 112-55, Division B, Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012

-- The FY 2013 appropriation for NASA was not enacted at the time that the FY 2014 Request was prepared; therefore, NASA is operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) (P.L. 112-175). Amounts in the “FY 2013 annualized 

CR” column reflect the annualized level provided by the CR. Rescission of remaining unobligated balances of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in the Office of Inspector General account pursuant to section 1306 of 

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111-203)

-- Funds associated with out-year estimates for programmatic construction remain in programmatic accounts.
