Well, they are now encompassed in THREE large groups of projects that are as their pillars of exploration and at the same time the most ambitious goals of all humanity in the near future.</p> <p>Which are? Well, that's what we're going to talk about today.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>FIRST: DISCOVERY PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>Discovery missions represent for NASA a "low cost" with a budget that can be around 450 million dollars. The objectives are not chosen by them, but rather they receive proposals of high scientific value from the scientific community (industries, universities, businesses, etc.) which are then rigorously evaluated by NASA who are in charge of selecting one of them. An example of a Discovery mission is Mars Pathfinder who stepped on Mars on July 4, 1997.</p> <p>If you want to know more about the program: <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-two-missions-to-explore-the-early-solar-system">https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-two-missions-to-explore-the-early-solar-system</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>SECOND: NEW FRONTIERS PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>The missions belonging to the New Frontiers program have a budget that can be around 850 million dollars and in this case the objectives if they are chosen by NASA, with a maximum launch time of 36 months. There have only been three New Frontiers missions and they are currently active, these are: New Horizons, Juno and Osiris Rex. The next New Frontiers mission will be selected in 2019.</p> <p>If you want to know more about the program: <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/smd-programs/new-frontiers">https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/smd-programs/new-frontiers</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>THIRD: FLAGSHIP PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>These types of missions are the most expensive and ambitious with a budget of around 3 billion dollars. For NASA they represent a very high strategic and scientific value besides being transcendental for humanity. These types of missions are very much dependent on the long-term goals of NASA and the United States generally, so here political and governmental institutions are strong and the US Congress approves or disapproves, with the ability to impose the mission.</p> <p>Some Flagship missions are: Cassini / Huygens, Chandra, Curiosity, James Webb (for the cost could even be called Super-Flagship, with its 8 billion dollars). And the future Mars 2020 missions and the recently approved by the European Congress EUROPE LANDER that will land in Europe in 2031 (if friends, finally we will tread Europe).</p> <p>As you can see, this helps us to enter more into the context of space exploration and understand where humanity is advancing in its "conquest" of the Solar System.</p> <p>If you want to know more about the program: <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/new_space_enterprise/flagship/">https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/new_space_enterprise/flagship/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/open/plan/peo.html">https://www.nasa.gov/open/plan/peo.html</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Image credits: Astronomy in your pocket</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s4.postimg.org/h9sxo6s5p/voto.gif"/></p> </html>
