From page 22...
... The Orbiting solar Laboratory (OSL) still does not have NOTICE MEMBERSHIP a new start, more than a decade after the basic program was defined (first as the FOREWORD Solar Optical Telescope, later as the High Resolution Solar Observatory, and SUMMARY currently as OSL)

From page 23...
... Furthermore, in the post-Challenger environment, the community would no longer endorse a recommendation such as "Enhance current Shuttle/Spacelab programs in this discipline." As another example, the Krimigis report shows no post-ISTP magnetospheric missions except Explorers and Shuttle or Space Station experiments. NASA has now stepped back into its traditional role and has sponsored a series of workshops to develop a new mission strategy for solar and space physics and for their other science disciplines.
