Scientific paper

At the turn of the Century there have been several reports by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences that recommend scientific goals and set priorities for robotic space exploration by NASA in the first decade of the 21st Century. These are the so-called "Decadal Reports" the first of which appeared for Astronomy and Astrophysics in 1998, and the second two issued this year for Solar System Exploration and for Solar and Space Physics. These reports contain the kernel for extrapolating science goals into the following decade and identifying which are most appropriate for implementation by human explorers. Additionally, there are studies by NASA, ESA and professional organizations which explore visions for the next steps in exploring deep space including both robotic and human elements--an internal study by NASA, some of which was presented at the Space 2001 Conference, a Space Policy Summit sponsored by the AIAA for this conference, a study by the IAA reported at this conference and to be completed in the next year, and the Aurora study by ESA. The science goals for human exploration beyond Earth orbit for the next 10-20 years that emerge from these studies will be reported.
