The Roadmap for the Structure and Evolution of the Universe (SEU), theme embraces three fundamental, scientific quests: To explain structure in the Universe and forecast our cosmic destiny; To explore the cycles of matter and energy in the evolving Universe; and To examine the ultimate limits of gravity and energy in the Universe. NASA developed these quests into six focused research campaigns: 1) Identify dark matter and learn how it shapes galaxies and systems of galaxies; 2) Explore where and when the chemical elements were made; 3) Understand the cycles in which matter, energy, and magnetic field are exchanged between stars and the gas between stars; 4) Discover how gas flows in disks and how cosmic jets are formed; 5) Identify the sources of gamma-ray bursts and high-energy cosmic rays; 6) Measure how strong gravity operates near black holes and how it affects the early Universe. These campaigns lead to a portfolio of future major missions of great scientific interest and popular appeal, strongly endorsed by the scientific community. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. President Eisenhower established NASA in 1958 with a distinctly civilian orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. Most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches. NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System,] advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program, exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic spacecraft missions, and researching astrophysics topics.
