An Oceanographer in Space: The Next Step

Abstract

The U.S. Navy is developing a long-range program for an oceanographer in space. This program will become part of a fully integrated Office of the Chief of Naval Research (OCNR) science and technology plan to guide further programs in space oceanography. These activities serve two purposes, with the first leading to the second: to show the current ideas on shuttle based oceanography and to elicit comments from the scientific community that might improve those thoughts.
