PCCI funds also supported the wide dissemination of a lay-audience publication, New Frontiers in Solar System Explornnon, which was prepared to summarize highlights of the decadal science strategy for solar system exploration, and the funds were used to prepare and distribute a similar document, Understanding the Sun and Solar System Plasmas: Future Directions in Solar and Space Physics. Both publications have been made available via a variety of education venues.
