However, NSF-AST does not, in general, support activities that are also funded by NASA: e.g., the analysis of data returned by planetary spacecraft missions. Relevant Activities in Other NASA Divisions and Directorates Planetary science activities at NASA are strongly coupled to the agency's other science programs in the Astrophysics, Heliophysics, and to a more limited extent, Earth Science and Biological and Physical Science divisions.
