Scientific paper

In March 2011 the National Research Council (NRC) released the report Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022, also known as the Planetary Science Decadal Survey. This is only the second planetary decadal survey to be prepared; it serves as the guide for NASA's planetary science program for the period 2013 to 2022, establishing priorities for flagship missions, a list of New Frontiers missions, and other priorities for the NASA and National Science Foundation's planetary science programs. The decadal survey was a major effort involving a steering committee and five panels, with over 60 members meeting from summer 2009 to fall 2010 as well as numerous town hall meetings and outreach events. A major aspect of the decadal survey is the involvement of the scientific community in the establishment of priorities, as well as the communication of the final results. But at a time of major changes in communication technology, the decadal survey is seeking to adapt to modern communications. In some ways it made great strides, such as webcasting and archiving all open meetings, which improved communications to the scientific community. But the survey was still transmitted to the public and the scientific community in a relatively traditional manner, and the NRC is seeking to adjust and adapt to more current forms of communications such as interactive websites, video summaries, and aps for platforms such as the iPad, Droid and other mobile devices.
