NASA operates a large number of space science missions,
approximately three-quarters of which are currently in their
extended operations phase. They represent not only a majority of
operational space science missions, but a substantial national
investment and vital national assets. They are tremendously
scientifically productive, making many of the major discoveries
that are reported in the media and that rewrite textbooks.
Extending Science ? NASA's Space Science Mission Extensions and the
Senior Review Process evaluates the scientific benefits of missions
extensions, the current process for extending missions, the current
biennial requirement for senior reviews of mission extensions, the
balance between starting new missions and extending operating
missions, and potential innovative cost-reduction proposals for
extended missions, and makes recommendations based on this review.
