Space Physics Strategy-Implementation Study. Volume 2. Program Plan. Report of Workshop 2. Held in Bethesda, Maryland on June 18-21, 1990

摘要

This is the Report of Workshop 2, June 18-21, 1990, Bethesda, Maryland. In June, 1989, the Space Science and Applications Advisory Committee (SSAAC) authorized its Space Physics Subcommittee (SPS) to prepare a plan specifying the future missions, launch sequence, and encompassing themes of the Space Physics Division. The plan, now complete, is the product of a year-long study comprising two week-long workshops--in January and June 1990--assisted by pre-workshop, inter-workshop, and post-workshop preparation and assessment activities. The workshops engaged about seventy participants, drawn equally from the Division's four science disciplines: cosmic and heliospheric physics, solar physics, magnetospheric physics, and ionosphere-thermosphere-mesospheric physics. An earlier report records the outcome of the first workshop; this is the report of the final workshop.
