A Community Committed to Discovery
Space-based science is a cornerstone for investigating profound questions of our existence and destiny, generating extraordinary discoveries—whether roving Mars or finding new planets, there is an incredible amount to learn. Flying space missions with compelling science goals advances science and broadens engagement for future space exploration.
The Urgency of Discovery
The progress of scientific discovery and exploration is a flame that burns brightly in our society and underlies our prosperity.
As scientists, engineers and explorers committed to advancing human knowledge and civilization, we are compelled to make this effort to open new paths to discovery, to achieve historic firsts in our quest to understand and explore the cosmos, to generate new opportunities for innovation and efficiency in spacecraft development, to expand the pool of resources available for space science beyond the government coffers, and to create new levels of public access and engagement in scientific research from space—and to do these things as soon as possible!
