A Statement of Task Issues in Space Science and Technology: Workshop Series An ad hoc committee under the auspices of the Space Studies Board will organize a series of public workshops summarizing space and Earth science and technology issues. These issues will be discussed at workshops convened to complement Space Studies Board meetings in November 2007 (which will focus on critical issues in U.S. space policy), March 2008 (which will focus on the FY2009 President's budget request for space and Earth science), and June 2008 (which will focus on the status of space and Earth science projects and funding). An individually authored summary of each workshop will be prepared in accordance with institutional guidelines. 9

NASA has asked the Space Studies Board (SSB) of the NRC to examine issues related to space science and technology through a series of three workshops. The first of these was held in November 2007 in conjunction with another workshop being held jointly by the SSB and ASEB to assess U.S. civil space policy broadly. Some of the workshop sessions focused more than others on issues of interest to NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This book concentrates on those sessions and presents a summary of the views of the participants on the issues that are relevant to SMD. A separate book will be prepared on the full range of issues about U.S. civil space policy discussed at the workshop.
