Live: Teleconferenza Bolden-Garver stasera

:confuse: :confuse:

Lo sò che è noioso, voglio solo vedere se ancora ricordo a memoria lo statement del 1° febbraio!!

Carmelo, era il tuo 3000° post!

Che tristezza averlo sprecato per Bolden e la Garver. :disappointed:

In sintesi,da NASA Watch:

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Deputy Administrator Lori Garver presented an outline for new and extended program assignments across the agency Thursday in support of the president's fiscal year 2011 budget request.

Pending congressional approval, NASA will create new program offices that include activities in exploration technology and development, heavy lift rockets and rocket propulsion technology, exploration precursor robotic missions, human research, and commercial spaceflight opportunities.
Highlights

KSC:

Commercial Crew Development: New Program Office at KSC, in partnership with a Deputy Program Manager at JSC, will manage $500 million in FY 2011 and $5.8 billion over five years, to foster privatesector transportation services to Earth orbit

JSC:

  • Commercial Crew Development: New Deputy Program Manager to manage, with KSC’s Program Office, $500 million in FY 2011 and $5.8 billion over five years to foster privatesectortransportation services to Earth orbit.

  • Commercial Cargo: The FY 2011 Budget provides a onetime increase of $312 million to add new capabilities and demonstrations to this program, and to ensure commercial cargo servicing of the ISS through 2020.

MSFC:

  • Heavy Lift and Propulsion Research and Development Program: New Program Office to manage $559 million in FY 2011 and $3.1 billion over five years to develop nextgeneration engines and propulsion technologies.

  • Exploration Precursor Robotic Program: New Program Office to manage approximately $105 million in FY 2011 and $2.6 billion over five years allocated to scout locations for eventual human visits.

LaRC:

-Game Changing Development: New Program Office to manage $124 million in FY 2011 and $1.5 billion over five years to foster innovate research and development projects that have the potential to revolutionize spaceflight.

GRC:

  • Exploration Technology Development and Demonstration Program: New Program Office to manage $223 million in FY 2011 and $1.8 billion over five years to mature key exploration technologies through laboratory, ground and flight tests.

ARC

-Exploration Scouts: New Program Office as part of Exploration’s Precursor Robotic Missions effort to manage approximately $20 million in FY 2011 and $400 million over five years allocated to scout locations for eventual human visits with a focus on small, competed robotic missions.

  • Small Satellite Subsystem Technology: New Program Office to manage $6 million in FY 2011 and $126 million over five years in research and development in this important technology area.

  • Edison Small Satellite Demonstrations: New Program Office to manage $10 million in FY 2011 and $90 million over five years to demonstrate key small satellite capabilities.

Vedremo se,grazie al Congresso,ci saranno novità.

Vedremo sopratutto quando certi termini sibillini diventeranno più chiari . Per esempio cosa vuol dire nuovi sistemi di propulsuione ? . Fissione nucleare , Vasimir , o che altro ? e quali sarebbero le tecnologie game-changing ?

Questa mi pare la classica tecnica da politico che continua dire che stà mettendo nel calderone tanti progetti, ma che nella realta messi tutti assieme non ne fanno uno intero…
l’idea nata con il nuovo bilancio non mi pare sbagliata ma dopo mesi dalla presentazione è ora di fare chiarezza! Insomma fuori i nomi di questi sistemi di propulsione di cui tanto parlano e di queste tecnologie radicalmente nuove e innovative, ma ancora tutte da realizzare…
