Space science
Life and Physical Sciences Research for a New Era of Space Exploration
An Interim Report
by Committee for the Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space; Space Studies Board; Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; National Research Council
Description
In response to requests from Congress, NASA asked the National Research Council to undertake a decadal survey of life and physical sciences in microgravity. Developed in consultation with members of the life and physical sciences communities, the guiding principle for the study is to set an agenda for research for the next decade that will allow the use of the space environment to solve complex problems in life and physical sciences so as to deliver both new knowledge and practical benefits for humankind as we become a spacefaring people. The project's statement of task calls for delivery of two books--an interim report and a final survey report. Although the development of specific recommendations is deferred until the final book, this interim report does attempt to identify programmatic needs and issues to guide near-term decisions that are critical to strengthening the organization and management of life and physical sciences research at NASA.
