Recommendation 3.1: NASA, NOAA, and USGS, working in coordination, according to their appro priate roles and recognizing their agency mission and priorities, should implement an integrated programmatic approach to advancing Earth science and applications that is based on the questions and objectives in Table 3.2, "Science and Applications Priorities for the Decade 2017–2027." Recommendation 3.2: NASA should implement a set of space-based observation capabilities based on this report's proposed program (which was designed to be affordable, comprehensive, robust, and balanced) , by implementing its portion of the Program of Record and adding observations described in Table S.2, "Observing System Priorities." The implemented program should be guided by the 70

• NASA should consult its standing scientific advisory committees if the project cost of the Pro gram of Record is expected to grow to consume more than $3.6 billion in the FY 2018–2027 decade, if more than one mission in this decadal survey is delayed more than 3 years, or upon premature loss of a mission in the Program of Record or one required to make the measurements of this decadal survey. • When appropriate, cost-effective, and consistent with recommended cost caps, NASA should consider instrument and mission designs that can increase science/applications return by com bining Targeted Observables having common measurement technologies.

Recommendation 4.4: NASA should complete planned improvements to its Global Geodetic Observ ing System sites during the first half of the decadal survey period as part of its contribution to the establishment and maintenance of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame. Recommendation 4.5: Because expanded and extended international partnerships can benefit the nation: • NASA should consider enhancing existing partnerships and seeking new partnerships when implementing the observation priorities of this decadal survey.

Recommendation 4.11: NOAA should establish itself among the leading government agencies that exploit potential value of commercial data sources, assessing both their benefits and risks in its observational data portfolio. It should innovate new government/commercial partnerships as needed to accomplish that goal, pioneer new business models when required, and seek acceptable solutions 1 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Recommendation 4.12: NOAA should establish, with NASA, a flexible framework for joint activities that advance the capability and cost-effectiveness of NOAA's observation capabilities. This framework should enable implementation of specific project collaborations, each of which may have its own unique requirements, and should ensure (1)
