... CBPSS started the year as a standing committee and was reformed as a discipline committee in March, enabling it to write brief reports on specific questions related to the implementation of the decadal report or its midterm review. A discipline committee functions the same as a standing committee, but the new status enables them to also draft publications containing consensus conclusions and findings on the implementation of their respective decadal surveys, which makes them subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Section 15.

... Fourth, planning for the committee's September meeting, devoted to organizational issues relating to the planned initiation of the next planetary science decadal survey in the first quarter of 2020. CAPS held its second meeting on September 10-12, 2019, at the Keck Institute for Space Studies at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.

... Jim Reuter, NASA, presented an update of STMD investigations relevant to the decadal survey, including cryogenics and synthetic biology, emphasizing STMD ties to the HRP and reliance on various flight opportunities and platforms. Chris Moore, NASA, explained NASA plans for lunar exploration, emphasizing areas for research community focus, including sustainable resource utilization and exploration, radiation protection, fire safety, planetary protection, and translating basic research into technology development.

... CSSP held its fall meeting on October 22-24, 2019, in Washington, DC, where it held data-gathering sessions for its short report on agile responses to short-notice rideshare opportunities. The report includes the kinds of solar and space physics science enabled by an agile response to rideshare opportunities; types of payloads suited to ridesharing; and considerations for the development and implementation of a new NASA program.
