Two other committeesthe Committee on Microgravity Research and the Committee on Space Biology and Medicinewere disbanded as of August 16, 2006; their work had been largely discontinued due to changing priorities at NASA. The Board and its standing committees provide strategic direction and oversee activities of ad hoc study committees (see Chapter 3)

Board members were presented with the executive summaries of four recently released SSB reports. In addition, the statements of task for three new or potential SSB activities were reviewed: "Earth Science and Applications from Space: Ensuring the Climate Measurements from NPOESS," "NASA's Beyond Einstein Program: An Architecture for Implementation," and a potential seminar series "Celebrating the First 50 Years of Space Science: In Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the International Geophysical Year." The Board ended the meeting with a brief discussion of the objectives for the SSB workshop on decadal surveys, which was about to commence.
