... ASSESSMENT OF NASA'S EARTH SCIENCE PROGRAM The ad hoc Committee on the Assessment of NASA's Earth Science Program was formed to review the alignment of the NASA Earth Science Division's program with previous NRC advice, primarily the 2007 NRC decadal survey report, Earth Science and Applications from Space. In carrying out this study, the committee was directed to neither revisit nor alter the scientific priorities or mission recommendations provided in the decadal survey and related NRC reports; however, the committee could provide guidance about implementing the recommended mission portfolio in preparation for the next decadal survey.
