Titan Mare Explorer Titan Mare Explorer (TiME) is a proposed design for a lander for Saturn's moon Titan. TiME is a relatively low-cost, outer-planet mission designed to measure the organic constituents on Titan and would have performed the first nautical exploration of an extraterrestrial sea, analyze its nature and, possibly, observe its shoreline. As a Discovery-class mission it was designed to be cost-capped at US$425 million, not counting launch vehicle funding. It was proposed to NASA in 2009 by Proxemy Research as a scout-like pioneering mission, originally as part of NASA's Discovery Program. The TiME mission design reached the finalist stage during that Discovery mission selection, but was not selected, and despite attempts in the U.S. Senate failed to get earmark funding in 2013.

National Research Council (Canada) The National Research Council (NRC, French: "Conseil national de recherches Canada" ) is the primary national research and technology organization (RTO) of the Government of Canada, in science and technology research and development. The Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development is responsible for the National Research Council (NRC). The transformation of the NRC into an RTO that focuses on "business-led research" was part of the federal government's Economic Action Plan. On 7 May 2013, the NRC launched its new "business approach" in which it offered four business lines: strategic research and development, technical services, management of science and technology infrastructure and NRC-Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP). With these services, NRC intends to shorten the gap between early stage research and development and commercialization. NRC now has over 30 approved programs.

Institute for Federal Real Estate (Germany) The Institute for Federal Real Estate (in German: Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben , abbreviated BImA) is a government agency in Germany that provides federal government entities with real estate services. It functions as a landlord in the government system of internal rent—a commercially based model for managing government real estate. The institute provides services such as renting space, facility management and real estate development. The institute itself owns a major proportion of the property it manages, and is one of the largest owners of real estate in Germany. It is estimated that within 2011, the Institute for Federal Real Estate will—due to property transfers—own and manage nearly all real estate used by the federal government of Germany.

Prime mission The prime mission of a project is activities in the period of operation proposed by NASA when it was selected for funding. The United States Congress passes a budget detailing where Federal tax money is to be spent in the upcoming year. The budget includes funding for NASA, sometimes with explicit instructions on how to allocate money to the project level, based on NASA's recommendations. The duration of a project may vastly exceed the prime mission, and money spent on a project during its lifetime may vastly exceed the original budget.
