The report discusses the objectives, estimated cost, and relative priorities of various missions in planetary and lunar exploration, astronomy, gravitational physics, solar-terrestrial physics, earth environmental sciences, and the life sciences. Although the report briefly reviews ongoing programs, it deals primarily with proposed new starts, emphasizing the need for an appropriate balance of large complex missions with smaller missions of high scientific priority. Among the major issues confronted are those relating to the completion of the Apollo program, the Grand Tour mission, the large space telescope, and earth environmental applications.
