Short Reports
During 1994, the Space Studies Board and its committees and task
groups issued four short reports, which this section presents in full in
chronological order of release. Two of them, reprinted in Sections 4.1 and 4.4,
provide guidance on the Space Station and Shuttle-Mir programs developed
jointly by the Board's Committee on Microgravity Research and Committee on
Space Biology and Medicine. Section 4.2 presents an assessment of two
prospective programs in space infrared astronomy, the Space Infrared Telescope
Facility (SIRTF) and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
(SOFIA). In July 1994, the Board reiterated previous advice regarding the
Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) and the Cassini Saturn-Titan
mission; this short report is presented in Section 4.3.
