This amendment would provide an additional $1.4 billion to the Deep Space Exploration

Systems account to achieve the Administration's goal of returning U.S. astronauts to the surface

of the Moon by 2024. In particular, this funding supports the Advanced Cislunar and SurfaceCapabilities program to accelerate the development ofhuman-rated lunar lander systems and the

Exploration Systems Development theme to preserve the flight schedule for the Space Launch

System rocket and Orion capsule. These increases would be partially offset by savings from the

deferral of some elements of the Lunar Gateway. Taken together with other proposals in this

transmittal, the FY 2020 net budget authority totals would not be affected by this amendment.
