of the NRC, recognizing that the costs of space science research missions were of concern to both the space science and the space technology communities, jointly initiated, organized, and conducted a workshop, under NASA sponsorship, to identify ways to reduce the cost of space science missions. The workshop steering committee was given a Statement of Task that detailed a list of technologies to be considered for their impact on system cost (See Appendix A)

Clear objectives and priorities with associated rationale are essential to reducing mission costs. An integrated team approach that involves scientists, spacecraft designers, and operations personnel promotes realizable mission requirements and potential cost savings.

Utilizing standardized mechanical and electronic architectures at the interface level as opposed to the spacecraft bus level can reduce costs substantially without overly constraining design options. remaining two days assessing trade-offs and cost and risk constraints for the hypothetical missions.

The workshop steering committee would like to thank the invited participants for their thoughtful contributions (see Appendix B for the list of participants) , especially Eberhardt Rechtin, Liam Sarsfield, Wiley Larson, Frank Redd, Donna Shirley, and Lester Thompson for their presentations and many helpful insights.
