2 Nation s Vision for Space Exploration THE FUNDAMENTAL GOAL OF THIS VISION IS TO ADVANCE U.S. SCIENTIFIC, SECURITY, AND ECONOMIC INTEREST THROUGH A ROBUST SPACE EXPLORATION PROGRAM Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program to explore the solar system and beyond Extend human presence across the solar system, starting with a human return to the Moon by the year 2020, in preparation for human exploration of Mars and other destinations; Develop the innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures both to explore and to support decisions about the destinations for human exploration; and Promote international and commercial participation in exploration to further U.S. scientific, security, and economic interests.

3 Key Elements of the Nation s Vision Objectives Implement a sustained and affordable human and robotic program Extend human presence across the solar system and beyond Develop supporting innovative technologies, knowledge, and infrastructures Promote international and commercial participation in exploration Major Milestones 2008: Initial flight test of CEV 2008: Launch first lunar robotic orbiter : Robotic mission to lunar surface 2011 First Unmanned CEV flight 2014: First crewed CEV flight : Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter (JIMO)/Prometheus : First human mission to the Moon

4 Exploration Systems Spiral Objectives Spiral 1 ( ) Provide precursor robotic exploration of the lunar environment Deliver a lunar capable human transportation system for test and checkout in low Earth orbit Spiral 2 ( ) Execute extended duration human lunar exploration missions Extend precursor robotic technology demonstrations at Mars Spiral 3 (2020-TBD) Execute a long-duration human lunar exploration campaign using the moon as a testbed to demonstrate systems (e.g., Lander, habitation, surface power) for future deployment at Mars Spiral 4 (~2025-TBD) Execute human exploration missions to the vicinity of Mars Spiral 5 (~2030-TBD) Execute initial human Mars surface exploration missions
