In order to optimize solar system research, the NRC recommended a series of principal-investigator missions that encourage innovation and accomplish the main scientific objectives presented in the survey. Two of the five recommended missions have been selected and, as was also recommended in the survey, the NRC was asked in 2007 to provide criteria and guiding principles to NASA for determining the list of candidate missions. This book presents a review of eight missions: the three remaining from the original list of five from the survey plus five missions considered by the survey committee but which were not recommended. Included in the review of each mission is a discussion of relevant science and technology developments since the survey and set of recommended science goals.AstronomyResearchOuter spaceExplorationUnited StatesAstronomyResearch.919.904National Research Council (U.S.).Space Studies Board.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972921703321Opening new frontiers in space4360091UNINA
