NASA has researched lot of Science for 2017, in which they have include to transport humans to Mars and efforts to track our home planet's changing climate. In general, they have proved to be very highly antagonistic to science.

However, NASA's potentially controversial initiatives include monitoring of earth sciences and weather phenomena, which is linked to climate change research. The U.S. space agency released a video of next year's planned ventures on Wednesday, which includes interplanetary missions involving the red planet, Saturn and Jupiter. Also, the agency will monitor the total solar eclipse in August, 2017.

This year, the space agency launched new satellite missions to track sea level rise and has planned for next year to install, two Earth-observing instruments on the International Space Station, one to monitor the ozone layer and another to track lightning. The biggest telescope is designed for transport to NASA's Johnson Space Center in 2017 for testing, and it will be launched in 2018.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft will be entering in the final year and this historic science will conclude in September 2017. On Nov. 30, Cassini began a series of 20 weekly F-ring orbits and past the outer edge of the main rings. Cassini's final phase is called as the grand finale, which begins in April 2017.

However, the Space agency's plans are expensive and it is unclear that how they will show the fare to the incoming President Donald Trump. The man who has doubted the science behind climate. In the past month, the president-elect's space advisers said that Trump would end NASA's research into the phenomenon, calling it "politicized science."

It will undermined a lot of work that researchers have been doing," former Rep. Bob Walker told The Guardian at the time. "Mr. Trump's decisions will be based upon solid science, not politicized science."
