Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences Research in Space: Panel Nominations and Call for White Papers

The Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences Research in Space is now accepting nominations for the Engineering and Science Interface Panel.  This panel will examine scientific and performance options for potential research and campaign priorities, including those related to capability development and facility and platform requirements. The panel’s work will support the development of research strategies for advancing the frontiers of biological and physical sciences research in space while considering such factors as timing, cost category and cost risk, technical readiness, and technical risk.  

Nominations must be received through this form by November 1, 2021 for full consideration.

CALL FOR INPUT
Submit a White Paper to the Decadal Survey

• Topical White Papers focused on single research topics are due by October 31, 2021.
