NAS on NASA Earth Observing Research Missions
Extending the Effective Lifetimes of Earth Observing Research Missions, Committee on Extending the Effectiveness Lifetimes of Earth Observing Research Missions, National Research Council
“NASA has recently begun using the Senior Review process, developed for the space sciences, to make decisions on extensions for Earth science missions. Previously, these decisions had been made ad hoc. This report by the National Research Council’s Committee on Extending the Effective Lifetimes of Earth Observing Research Missions reviews the current process and provides recommendations for adapting this process to the specific needs of NASA’s Earth science missions.”
