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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Institute did not recognize any interest and penalties.”

IRS990/Desc0The Planetary Science Institute (PSI) is a nonprofit science research and educational organization with an established record of excellence in solar system exploration, comparative planetology, science education and public outreach. PSI has scientists in 30 states, the District of Columbia, and other locations around the world. In the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, PSI scientists operated instruments on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory and JUNO missions and provided science team support for these and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, New Horizons mission and the OSIRIS-REx mission, ESA's Mars Express, and Japan's Akatsuki mission at Venus.The PSI observatory was used to search for atmospheric collapse on Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, it conducted nightly observations of comets to monitor outbursts, and did detailed studies of comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) to measure variability in sodium emission as a function of distance from the Sun. PSI scientists determined that glacial melting was causing a rapid rise of glacial lakes in the Himalayas, increasing hazards to development. They determined that impacts on asteroids erase small craters, that salt water may periodically form on the surface of Mars, and that muddy rains on Mars created some of its most ancient highlands. They also determined that Mercury may have been volatile rich at one time.PSI scientists were awarded research grants and contracts to conduct diverse research and laboratory studies covering the Moon, Mars, asteroids, comets, meteorites, outer planet satellites, solar system dynamics, solar system origins, planets around other stars, and other areas.PSI is 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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Institute did not recognize any interest and penalties.
