Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Planetary Science Institute studies the origin, characteristics, and evolution of planetary systems, including our solar system, Earth itself, and planetary systems around other stars. We convey the resulting knowledge to the scientific community, and to the public at large to promote science education and science literacy. We further use this knowledge to advance human activity in space and shape the future of robotic exploration of the solar system.

Solar System Exploration, Comparative Planetology, Science Education and Public Outreach.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Institute is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute is also exempt from state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Management is not aware of any matters which would cause the Institute to lose its tax-exempt status. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Institute's tax-exempt purpose, may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Institute's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed. The Institute recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in operating and general expenses in the accompanying financial statements. During the years ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the Institute did not recognize any interest and penalties.”

IRS990/Desc0The Planetary Science Institute (PSI) is a nonprofit science research and educational organization founded in 1972 with an established record of excellence in solar system exploration, comparative planetology, science education and public outreach. PSI has scientists in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and many other locations around the world. In the fiscal year ending January 2015, PSI scientists operated instruments on NASA's Mars Odyssey, Dawn, Mercury MESSENGER, Mars Science Laboratory, and JUNO missions and provided science team support for these and NASA's Cassini, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and Mars Exploration Rovers, as well as ESA's Rosetta mission to comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.PSI scientists determined the hazard of dust particles from Comet Siding-Springsbefore its close approach of Mars allowing spacecraft assets of the US and othernations to be positioned out of harms way, they discovered a new part of the solar atmosphere, identified areas of Mars that have been modified by water over much of the planet's history, and participated in the reactivation of the NEOWISEsatellite to continue the discovery of near-Earth asteroids.PSI scientists were awarded research grants to conduct diverse research and laboratory studies covering the Moon, Mars, asteroids, comets, interplanetary dust, meteorites, outer planet satellites, solar system dynamics, solar system origins, and other areas.PSI was responsible, as part of NASA's Planetary Data System, for archiving all mission data involving asteroids, comets and interplanetary dust and making it available to the general science community and public. PSI scientists engaged in public outreach through art, writing children's books, popular science books, and public lectures and broadcast events such as Discovery Channel and BBC specials.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Institute is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute is also exempt from state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Management is not aware of any matters which would cause the Institute to lose its tax-exempt status. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Institute's tax-exempt purpose, may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Institute's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed. The Institute recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in operating and general expenses in the accompanying financial statements. During the years ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the Institute did not recognize any interest and penalties.
