This book was released on 2005-06-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report follows-on from a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (HC 359 2003-4 ISBN 0102927391) which examined the Partnership of Departments, Agencies and Research Councils that manages the UK space programme. It concludes that the Partnership does not apply risk management techniques consistently across their programmes, and in particular the Beagle 2 project had large risks that were not explicitly addressed in the appraisals of funding applications. It also finds that cost control is compromised by internal information systems and that the Partnership neither summarises the benefits across space programmes nor monitor progress against strategic objectives.

Book Synopsis The impact of spending cuts on science and scientific research by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee
Download or read book The impact of spending cuts on science and scientific research written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pressure to be seen to be making cuts across the public sector is threatening to undermine both the Government's good record on investment in science and the economic recovery. Whilst the contribution of a strong domestic science base is widely acknowledged, methodological problems with quantifying its precise value to the economy mean that it is in danger of losing out in Whitehall negotiations. Scientists are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the impact of their work and there is concern that areas without immediate technology applications are being undervalued. The Committee believes the Government faced a strategic choice: invest in areas with the greatest potential to influence and improve other areas of spending, or make cuts of little significance now, but that will have a devastating effect upon British science and the economy in the years to come.

Book Synopsis Government Support for Beagle 2,Twelfth Report of Session 2003-04,Report,Together with Formal Minutes,Oral and Written Evidence by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee
Download or read book Government Support for Beagle 2,Twelfth Report of Session 2003-04,Report,Together with Formal Minutes,Oral and Written Evidence written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this inquiry, by the Science and Technology Committee, was the support by the UK Government for the Beagle 2 project developed as part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Mars Express mission. The Committee found the Government showed enthusiasm for this project, but was unable to provide a guaranteed financial backing for the development of a lander, resulting in a failure to secure sufficient sponsorship income, which was subsequently seen to have a detrimental impact on the project's success. The Committee feels, that Government needs to put in place a system that can deal with major financial commitments at short notice. In hindsight, the development of the lander and orbiter separately is seen as wrong, impeding the flexible co-ordination of the mission, leading to tensions between the Beagle 2 consortium, ESA and other contractors. Further, there was a lack of co-ordinated oversight between these three groups, and therefore a failure to identify important weaknesses in the mission. Despite the failure of Beagle, the Committee does see some positive potential for future projects, both in scientific and educational benefits, but that the costs of such projects would benefit from greater participation by other organizations.
