The administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration fleshed out plans for the coming years on Thursday by announcing a lineup of new programs and those NASA centers that would be responsible for them.

President Obama’s plan for space, announced this year, would terminate the Constellation program, which was to develop rockets to return humans to the moon. It would focus instead on developing commercial flights of crew and cargo to the International Space Station and long-range technology to allow sustained exploration, including by humans, beyond Earth’s orbit.

At a one-hour telephone news conference, the NASA administrator, Maj. Gen. Charles F. Bolden Jr., and his deputy, Lori Garver, took turns rattling off names and price tags of new programs at each NASA center.

Among them is an effort known as Flagship Technology Demonstrations, intended to test things like orbital fuel depots and using planetary atmospheres instead of braking rockets to land safely.
