The STP and Explorer missions address more basic scientific questions that are not viewed as being as immediately relevant to human exploration. Nevertheless, OMB and NASA recognize that a strong basic research program is essential to the existence and growth of any applied science, and they have asked the NRC to provide advice on how and where the basic research aspects of the SEC program are needed to ensure that the applications needs of the exploration program are solidly grounded.

Plan In a meeting on April 2, 2004, with the chair of the SSB Committee on Solar and Space Physics, James Burch, and SSB staff officer Art Charo, the chief of the OMB Science and Space Branch, David Radzanowski, and William Jeffreys of OSTP asked that the SSB organize an independent assessment of how the recommendations of the recent NRC report, The Sun to the Earth and Beyond: A Decadal Research Strategy in Solar and Space Physics, would be relevant to NASA's new space exploration initiative. In subsequent discussions with Richard Fisher, director of NASA's Sun-Earth Connection division, Fisher agreed that such an assessment was needed.
