NASA Notes:
1) NASA funding decreases for CCRI from FY 2007 to FY 2009 are primarily due to the planned ramp-down of resources for the Glory mission, a major contributor to NASA CCRI funding, which is completing development in preparation for a December 2008 (FY 2009) launch.

Mapping of Budget Request to Appropriations Legislation. In the Appropriations Committee reports, National Aeronautics and Space Administration CCSP activities are funded under NASA Earth science and technology programs within Title III–Independent Agencies, as part of the Science, Aeronautics, and Technology account.
