SMD Programs
Up one level
-
Astrophysics Explorers
-
-
Cosmic Origins
-
-
Discovery
-
The Discovery Program conducts focused investigations that complement NASA's larger Planetary Science goals by launching smaller missions using fewer resources and shorter development times.
-
Earth System Science Pathfinder
-
The Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Program addresses unique, specific, highly-focused mission requirements in Earth science research.
-
Earth Systematic Missions
-
The Earth Systematic Missions (ESM) Program includes a broad range of multi-disciplinary science investigations aimed at developing a scientific understanding of the Earth system and its response to natural and human-induced forces. Understanding these forces will help in determining how to mitigate them, appropriately and where possible, to avoid climate changes.
-
Exoplanet Exploration
-
NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program represents a voyage of unprecedented scope and ambition, promising insight into humankind's most timeless question: Are we alone?
-
Explorers
-
The mission of the Explorer program is to provide frequent flight opportunities for scientific investigations from space.
-
GOES / POES
-
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)/ Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) program is a key element in National Weather Service (NWS) operations.
-
Heliophysics Explorers

-
Living With a Star
-
We live in the extended atmosphere of an active star. While sunlight enables and sustains life, the Sun's variability produces streams of high-energy particles and radiation that can affect life.
-
Mars Exploration
-
The Mars Exploration Program is a science-driven program that seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be, a habitable world.
-
Missions of Opportunity
-
-
New Frontiers
-
The New Frontiers Program represents a critical step in the advancement of solar system exploration.
-
Outer Planets Flagship
-
-
Physics of the Cosmos
-
Missions within the Physics of the Cosmos Program measure and test the validity of Einstein's theories of relativity.
-
Robotic Lunar Exploration
-
-
Solar Terrestrial Probes
-
The Program addresses fundamental science questions about the physics of space plasmas and the flow of mass and energy through the solar system.
