The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Exploration Program develops capabilities to enable human space expeditions of increasing evolutionary scope and ambition. Beginning in low-Earth orbit (LEO), these expeditions will first support the International Space Station (ISS) and then expand to encompass missions that will take humankind to the Moon, Mars, and other destinations. During each stage of the exploration effort, the knowledge, technology, operational experience, and systems developed will provide a foundation for more extensive exploration activities. In fiscal year (FY) 2008 (FY08), through its programs and projects, the Exploration System Mission Directorate (ESMD) continued to build on the initial steps of this evolutionary process by leveraging flight-proven technologies and techniques of earlier human exploration efforts, including the ISS, Space Shuttle, and Apollo programs. The E MD also further developed the planning, technology, and hardware to support the exploration effort and continued to plan and transition Agency assets in preparation for Space Shuttle retirement.
