In this connection, a process needs to be defined for open and peer-reviewed selection and assessment of existing, proposed, and developing technologies. This principle is enlarged upon in the 1995 Board report Managing the Space Sciences.5 The strategic plan should present planning for partnerships between universities and industry to involve young scientists and engineers in technology development; this would include opportunities for young scientists and engineers to become involved in 5Space Studies Board, National Research Council, Managing the Space Sciences, 1995 (National Academy Press, Washington, D.C.)

The network would form a basis for the strategic plan itself, which could then discuss the anticipated level of resources and analyze what can be done with the resources. Time lines for technology development and mission planning, which would be updated on a regular basis, would become integral components of the plan.
