Before its first meeting, the Committee on the Assessment of NASA Laboratory Capabilities noted that the backgrounds, experience, and expertise of the members matched the two major disciplines of fundamental science and engineering research at NASA: namely, aeronautics research and space and Earth science research. Accordingly, two subcommittees were formed, composed of the following members:

Over the past 5 years or more, there has been a steady and significant decrease in NASA's laboratory capabilities, including equipment, maintenance, and facility upgrades. This adversely affects the support of NASA's scientists, who rely on these capabilities, as well as NASA's ability to make the basic scientific and technical contributions that others depend on for programs of national importance. The fundamental research community at NASA has been severely impacted by the budget reductions that are responsible for this decrease in laboratory capabilities, and as a result NASA's ability to support even NASA's future goals is in serious jeopardy.
