. In 2002 the Space Studies Board oversaw the completion of two new reports that expanded the creation of decadalscale consensus strategies into the research fields of solar system exploration and of solar and space physics.2 The Space Studies Board initiated a new decadal survey study for Earth science and applications from space in 2003, and the report from that study was expected to be complete in January 2007.3 Currently in prog 1The most recent NRC astronomy and astrophysics survey report, Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium (National Academy Press, Washington, D.C., 2001)

All decadal surveys to date have been well received and influential with government decision makers, both in the executive branch -- e.g., at the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Science and Technology Policy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Science Foundation, Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Defense, and U.S. Geological Survey -- and with Congress (in the relevant authorization and appropriation committees)

Ways must be found for future decadal survey committees to consider cost and assess cost realism, technological readiness, and technology risk as they recommend new missions, facilities, and program strategies. The second problem relates to how future decadal surveys will make priority lists most useful for decision makers and program officials.
