New National Research Council Report Presents Research Program for Solar and Space Physics Over the Next Decade
“A new report from the National Research Council presents a prioritized program of basic and applied research for 2013-2022 that will advance scientific understanding of the sun, sun-Earth connections and the origins of “space weather,” and the sun’s interactions with other bodies in the solar system. This second decadal survey in solar and space physics — the product of a 18-month effort by more than 85 solar and space physicists and space system engineers — lays out four scientific goals for the next 10 years along with guiding principles and recommended actions.”
