Decadal Survey Missions

NASA relies on the science community to identify and prioritize leading-edge scientific questions and the observations required to answer them. Once each decade, NASA and its partners ask the the National Research Council (NRC) to look out ten or more years into the future and prioritize research areas, observations, and notional missions.
