... The committee concurs with the principles that were employed for setting priorities in the decadal survey report and believes that those principles remain appropriate and relevant today. 1National Research Council, The Sun to the Earth and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy in Solar and Space Physics, The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2003.

... To achieve the goals of the exploration vision there must be a robust SEC program, including both the LWS and the STP mission lines, that studies the heliospheric system as a whole and that incorporates a balance of applied and basic science. MO&DA, Explorer and suborbital flights, and SR&T activities are the lifeblood of SEC research because they provide core research, flexibility, innovative technologies, and invaluable training for the next generation of workers for our nation's space enterprise.3 The Explorer program provides innovative, fast-response missions to fill critical gaps.

... These issues will demand careful attention as NASA develops its overall plan for science in the exploration vision. The committee concurs with the views expressed in the decadal survey report that there should be opportunities to leverage contributions from both inter-agency and international partners in a way that will permit a more robust program in a constrained resource environment.
