PARTIAL SUPPORT OF THE DECADAL SURVEY FOR SOLAR AND SPACE PHYSICS 2024-2033
Abstract
This proposal requests funding for the Space Studies Board (SSB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to establish a decadal survey committee to develop a comprehensive science and mission strategy for solar and space physics (heliophysics) research for a ten-year period beginning in approximately 2024. The Survey Committee, numbering approximately 18 members and constituted according to Academy guidelines for expertise and diversity along a number of axes, will be responsible for the overall organization and execution of the study, as well as the production of a final consensus report that will undergo the usual National Academies review processes. The Committee will be informed in its work by up to six specialized study panels—each with 12-14 members—with allocation of the domain of study among them to be determined by the Survey Committee and the Space Studies Board. The proposed activity will be used by AFOSR and other federal agencies in formulating plans for future investments in solar and space physics-research and observational capabilities.
