In January 2004 NASA was given a new policy direction known as the
Vision for Space Exploration. That plan, now renamed the United
States Space Exploration Policy, called for sending human and
robotic missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In 2005 NASA
outlined how to conduct the first steps in implementing this policy
and began the development of a new human-carrying spacecraft known
as Orion, the lunar lander known as Altair, and the launch vehicles
Ares I and Ares V. Collectively, these are called the Constellation
System. In November 2007 NASA asked the National Research Council
(NRC) to evaluate the potential for new science opportunities
enabled by the Constellation System of rockets and spacecraft. The
NRC committee evaluated a total of 17 mission concepts for future
space science missions. Of those, the committee determined that 12
would benefit from the Constellation System and five would not.
This book presents the committee's findings and recommendations,
including cost estimates, a review of the technical feasibility of
each mission, and identification of the missions most deserving of
future study.
