NASA Explorer Program

Target entity: NASA Explorer Program
Context triple: [Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, program, NASA Explorer Program]

• A. NASA Discovery Program
  The NASA Discovery Program is a series of competitively selected, cost-capped planetary science missions designed to achieve high scientific return with relatively small, focused spacecraft.
• B. NASA Explorer program (beyond-Explorer class)
  The NASA Explorer program (beyond-Explorer class) is a line of NASA space science missions that are larger and more capable than standard Explorer missions, designed to conduct focused, cutting-edge astrophysics and heliophysics research.
• C. NASA Flagship Program
  The NASA Flagship Program is a class of large-scale, high-priority planetary science missions characterized by their ambitious scientific goals, advanced technology, and substantial budgets, exemplified by missions like Cassini–Huygens.
• D. Voyager program
  The Voyager program is a NASA mission that launched the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft in 1977 to explore the outer planets and interstellar space, becoming one of humanity’s most significant and long-lived space exploration efforts.
• E. NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate
  The NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate is the division of NASA responsible for developing and managing human and robotic exploration systems beyond low Earth orbit, including technologies and programs that enable future missions to the Moon, Mars, and deep space.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
