Presentations to the Panels of the NRC's Planetary Science Decadal Survey Now on SpacePolicyOnline.com
The presentations that were made to the first meetings of each of the five panels of the National Research Council’s (NRC’s) Planetary Science Decadal Survey are now available on SpacePolicyOnline.com. Visit our NRC page on the left menu to find those presentations and other links to NRC studies.
Three of the five panels met in August: Giant Planets, Satellites, and Inner Planets. The other two met in early September: Primitive Bodies and Mars. The presentations provide an overview of ongoing planetary science missions and briefings on the missions that scientists are proposing to begin in the next decade. The task of the Decadal Survey is to recommend to NASA which missions have the highest priority.
Each of the panels is scheduled to hold three meetings during the course of the study. The Satellites panel already held its second meeting and the presentations from that meeting will be posted soon. Check our calendar on the right for when other panels, and the Survey Committee itself, plan to meet, or visit the Decadal Survey’s website.
