5 Suborbital Program The Venus Spectral Rocket Experiment (VeSpR) PI: J. Clarke Purpose: To study the present day escape of water from the atmosphere of Venus and relate it to the past abundance of water on Venus Successful launch on November 27, 2013 Balloon opportunifes:

6 Venera- D JSDT: Background On December 2013 a bilateral dialogue took place between IKI and NASA/PSD. It was agreed to have a Joint Science DefiniFon Team for Venera- D On December 2013 NASA released a Le#er for Applica.on call for the Venera- D JSDT On January 2014, NASA received 39 applicants. On February 2014, NASA and IKI jointly selected 5 USA members for JSDT. On March 4, 2014 a Venera- D JSDT Kick- off video- com took place Four face- to- face meefng have being scheduled The JSDT will provide guidance on research objecfves to be pursued by Roscosmos/IKI and NASA's future science flight missions for Venus including: - Science objecfves - Develop an operafons concept - Mission design architectures & spacecrai concept - Science instrument conceptual payload & traceability matrix - IdenFficaFon of any required new technology Goals, objecfves, & invesfgafons for Venus ExploraFon should be an important input for the JSDT to consider

7 VENERA- D JSDT MEMBERSHIP

10 Planetary Science Budget FY15 FY15 budget includes an addi.onal SMD funding: $15M for competed EPO acfvifes $187.3M in the Opportunity, Growth, and Security IniFaFve 10

11 Opportunity, Growth, and Security IniFaFve (Planetary Science PorFon) Planetary Science Extended Mission Funding: Provide an addifonal $35M to increase support for extended missions priorifzed in the upcoming 2014 Senior Review Radioisotope Power Systems: Make available an addifonal $15M to manage technology development of SFrling power converters for future power systems for planetary or human explorafon Research and Analysis: Provide an addifonal $20M to expand support for Research & Analysis programs that analyze data from science missions and develop new theories and concepts that enable the next generafon of flight missions. This investment represents about a 2.3% increase over the requested level for all competed research, across all Science Themes.
