The launch rate of scientific spacecraft more than doubled developmental cycle time was reduced by forty percent average spacecraft costs were reduced by a factor of three and scientific exploration and discovery expanded.
Goldin initiated the Origins Program to study how our solar system formed how life on Earth began and to explore whether it exists elsewhere in the universe. He challenged Origins planners to search for Earth-like planets within a hundred light-years of our own. He was also a vigorous proponent for increased exploration to determine if water and life may have ever existed elsewhere in our own solar system including places such as Mars and Europa. It was under Goldin’s direction that repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope were made for the first time on orbit and development of the Spitzer Infrared Telescope began.
