SMD Recent Significant Accomplishments
Earth Science
• Net Loss of Ice Mass from Greenland
quantified (GRACE)
• Subglacial lakes and hydraulic
systems under Antarctic ice sheets
observed (IceSat, MODIS)
• Robust, global, inverse relationship
between sea-surface temperature
and primary productivity documented
(SeaWiFS)
Planetary Science

Mars Scout selections
Discovery selections
Cassini reveals new rings. Outer E-ring
created by Enceladus geysers
• Great coverage in media
– Cassini in National Geographic
– MER in Car & Driver
Heliophysics
Astrophysics
• Hinode (SOLAR-B)
• Hubble scientists created first threedimensional map of dark matter
distribution in the universe
• Chandra revealed evidence of a light
echo from Milky Way’s supermassive
black hole, Sagittarius A*
• Spitzer reveals supernova explosion
may topple the ”Pillars of Creation”
• JWST reached critical milestone when 9
5
of 10 technologies reached TRL6
• Three instruments with advanced
capability in Vis, EUV, and X-ray
wavelengths.
• STEREO
– 16 instruments on 2 s/c operating
nominally
– Solar orbits for A and B s/c achieved
– Transition to Operations, 01/23/07
• THEMIS to launch February 15
• AIM to launch April
