This paper will provide an overview of the current Roadmap version published in 2003, overall status of the program and discuss top level evolution of the processes for linking these missions.
Current mission activities and future strategic plans will be surveyed in this talk.
This paper describes the missions, the scientific endeavors, and the network of technology investments that are the Navigator Program, and which are at the heart of the Astronomical Search for Origins.
You are holding a strategic roadmap for the first two decades into the new millennium, chartered by NASA's Office of Space Science to travel toward understanding and explaining the origins of galaxies, stars, planetary systems, and life.
The full realization of the potential of satellite remote sensing would require the utilization of information systems which are currently not available. However, technological advances make it now possible to design a data system for meeting the land scientists' most critical information needs. A working group has been assembled to examine the need for a Pilot Data System (PLDS). The pilot program is to establish a limited-scale, distributed information system to explore approaches to satisfy the needs of the land science research community. Aspects and objectives considered by the working group are discussed, taking into account science scenarios, required functions, the characteristics of a land data system, and questions of pilot land data system development.
