One, called Links, features more than two dozen spacecraft in several orbits to study the magnetosphere and its dynamics. The report recommended starting development of Links in 2027 with launches no earlier than 2035, at an estimated cost of $1.86 billion.<\/p><p>\u201cIt discovers the connections across regions and scales in the near-Earth space environment,\u201d said Stephen Fuselier of the Southwest Research Institute, one of the co-chairs of the steering committing for the decadal survey, at a Dec. 5 briefing. \u201cYou get a global and a mesoscale context for the dynamics in this region.\u201d<\/p><p>The other flagship mission, Solar Polar Orbiter, would go into a high-inclination orbit around the sun\u2019s polar regions, which cannot be seen from the Earth or most other missions. The spacecraft would require a Jupiter gravity assist and several Earth gravity assists to go into that orbit. The decadal estimated the cost of the mission to be $2.08 billion, with work starting in 2029 for a launch in 2037.<\/p><p>\u201cThe Ulysses spacecraft flew over the poles of the sun, but it had no imaging capability,\u201d he said, something the proposed mission would provide to study the behavior of the sun\u2019s magnetic fields at the poles. \u201cIt\u2019s critical to the understanding of the cyclic behavior of solar activity.\u201d<\/p><p>Those missions, among other recommendations for ground-based facilities and spacecraft, are intended to build on the data from a top priority from the previous decadal survey, the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC). It would fly six spacecraft to study the interaction of the magnetosphere with the upper atmosphere and support space weather studies.<\/p><p>However, after NASA sought a three-year delay in GDC in its fiscal year 2024 budget proposal, the agency proposed canceling GDC outright in its 2025 proposal, \u201cgiven other priorities in this request.\u201d Congress has not yet passed a 2025 appropriations bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/senate-spending-bill-pushes-back-on-proposed-nasa-mission-cuts\/\">although the Senate version was critical of that proposed cancellation<\/a>.<\/p><p>The leaders of the decadal survey emphasized the importance of the mission, which the report estimated would have a total cost of $1.2 billion. \u201cGDC is an important part of the science that we want to do in the next decade,\u201d said Robyn Millan of Dartmouth College, the other co-chair of the decadal, at the briefing. \u201cWe really hope that this decadal survey kicks it off again in our reaffirming of the importance of it as part of the program of record.\u201d<\/p><p>Carrying out the missions in the decadal will require significant funding. The decadal recommended that NASA\u2019s heliophysics budget, $805 million in fiscal year 2024 but proposed to decrease to $786.7 million in 2025, should increase to $1 billion in 2026. It recommended annual increases of 8.25% after that, reaching $1.74 billion by 2033, more than double its current budget.<\/p><p>However, the difficulties faced by GDC raise questions about NASA\u2019s ability to fund the flagships proposed in the new decadal. \u201cBudget is always an issue. We\u2019ve got great science and to do this program that we put forward is going to require investment,\u201d Millan said. \u201cBut we\u2019ve seen additional investment. We\u2019ve seen other divisions of NASA grow at this same level that we\u2019re recommending when they\u2019re proposing to do really high priority and exciting science.\u201d<\/p><p>The decadal survey included an alternative, flat budget profile for NASA heliophysics that assumes growth only at the projected rate of inflation. That funding level is too low to support work on GDC, Links or Solar Polar Orbiter under the schedules and funding profiles included in the report.<\/p><p>\u201cWe were asked to do an ambitious but realistic program. The program is very ambitious on the science,\u201d Fuselier said. \u201cIt is realistic because it is achievable in this next decade with the proper investment.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThis is an ambitious decadal survey, and we\u2019re excited about that,\u201d Joe Westlake, director of NASA\u2019s heliophysics division, said at the briefing. He did not offer any specific comments about the programs included in the report or NASA\u2019s plans to review it, offering instead broad praise for the study. \u201cThis is the voice of our community, the voice of the scientists, and this vivid vision for our future in the next 10 years.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new decadal survey for solar and space physics recommends that NASA\u2019s heliophysics program pursue two billion-dollar missions even as the agency proposes to cancel a recommendation from the previous decadal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10940,"featured_media":509813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4152,4161],"tags":[1050,782],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[544],"class_list":["post-509811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civil1","category-news-archive","tag-heliophysics","tag-nasa","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.6 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
