Preparations will continue for launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in early fiscal year 1989. Planning activities will continue in 1988 for future Spacelab missions which were rephased due to the Challenger accident. Development of the Gamma Ray Observatory will continue for planned launch in 1990. Also, development of several ongoing Explorer class satellites will be continued. Planetary Exploration.-This program encompasses the scientific exploration of the planets, comets, asteroids, and the interplanetary medium to provide increased knowledge of the origin and evolution of the solar system. Development will continue in 1988 on major flight projects initiated in prior years. The Galileo and Ulysses missions will be reconfigured to accommodate a Space Shuttle launch with Inertial Upper Stages. Integration and testing of the Magellan spacecraft will start in preparation for launch in 1989. The design and development of the Mars Observer will continue. Life Sciences.-This program provides for the research and technology required to meet the goals of ensuring human health, safety, and productivity in space. In 1988, emphasis will be placed on research on the effects of long-term exposure to weightlessness and development of flight experiments for use on the Space Shuttle. Space and Terrestrial Applications: Space Applications.-The major programs in space applications are observations of the Earth and its environment, materials processing, space communications and information systems. Major activities in 1988 include research to better understand mechanisms that affect Earth processes, continued development of Space Shuttle payloads, and ground-based research in areas well suited to take advantage of microgravity conditions. Development will continue on major flight projects initiated in prior years. The Upper Atmospheric Re search Satellite is scheduled for launch in 1991. The Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX) is scheduled for a 1991 launch as part of a collaborative mission with France. Design and development activities will be initiated on the Global Geospace Science (GGS) mission to obtain coordinated measurements of the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. GGS is the United States' contribution to an international solar terrestrial physics program, which includes spacecraft from the Japanese and European space agencies. In space communications, research and analysis will continue to support development of advanced component and device technology for communications satellite systems. Development work will be terminated on the advanced communications technology satellite demonstration flight. Information systems activities in 1988 will provide analysis and technology to address concerns of the science community for improved access to and manipula tion of data from space science and applications missions. Commercial Programs.-These programs include technology utilization and commercial use of space. The technology utilization program is designed to and development base to nonaerospace sectors of the transfer aerospace technology from NASA's research U.S. economy. During 1988, NASA will continue its efforts to help foster the dissemination of new technolo gy developed by the Agency's programs. private sector awareness of the opportunities in space. The commercial use of space is designed to increase Private industry will be encouraged to invest and par ticipate in high technology research and development using the unique characteristics of space. Space Research and Technology.-In 1988, work directed toward providing the broad base of technology underlying the conduct of future space missions will continue, as well as an enhanced effort in automation and robotics. In 1988, efforts will increase to provide the broad base of technology underlying future space missions. Specifically, a significant effort will be initiated to strengthen the technology base for continued U.S. leadership in space, and to enable efficient, reliable access to space. Transatmospheric Research and Technology.-A joint NASA/DOD program will explore new approaches for cost-effective hypersonic flight in the atmosphere with the capability to accelerate to orbit. The program will pursue research and advanced technology development in the area of hypersonic flight, cooperatively with DOD, and is expected to lead to a transatmospheric flight research vehicle in the early 1990's. Aeronautical Research and Technology.-This pro gram conducts research and develops technology for future U.S. military and civil aircraft. Major thrusts of 1988 activities include: continuing advancement in both basic aeronautical disciplines and systems research; maintaining and operating special ized facilities essential to aeronautical research; and pursuing technological advances in critical areas of high risk and potentially high payoff to the Nation. These activities will continue to provide a strong re search and technology base in the aeronautical disciplines of fluid and thermal physics, applied aerodynam ics, materials and structures, controls and guidance, human factors, information sciences, propulsion and power, flight systems, and systems analysis and studies Systems technology efforts will continue in a variety of areas including rotorcraft, high-performance aircraft, supersonic aircraft, advanced propulsion systems, and numerical aerodynamic simulation.
