In all three we shall look to the Board to be the focus of the interests and responsibilities of the Academy-Research Council in space science; to establish necessary relationships with civilian science and with governmental science activities, particularly the proposed new space agency, the National Science Foundation, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency; to represent the Academy-Research Council complex in our international relations in this field on behalf of American science and scientists; to seek ways to stimulate needed research; to promote necessary coordination of scientific effort; and to provide such advice and recommendations to appropriate individuals and agencies with regard to space science as may in the Board's judgment be desirable. As we have already agreed, the Board is intended to be an advisory, consultative, correlating, evaluating body and not an operating agency in the field of space science.

Major Functions of the Space Studies Board The board provides an independent, authoritative forum for information and advice on all aspects of space science and applications and serves as the focal point within the National Academies for activities on space research. The board itself does not conduct studies, but it oversees advisory studies and program assessments conducted by ad hoc study committees (see Chapter 3)

When negotiated with the sponsoring agency, they can also draft publications containing consensus conclusions and findings on the implementation of their respective decadal surveys. Ad Hoc Study Committees Ad hoc study committees are created by National Academies' action to conduct specific studies as negotiated with the sponsors.

Copies of publications are routinely provided to key executive branch officials, members and staffs of relevant congressional committees, members of other interested units of the National Academies, and federal advisory bodies. Members of the press are notified about the release of each new publication, and the SSB maintains a substantial mailing list for distribution of publications to members of the space research community.
