Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics 2024-2033

美国国家科学院的太空科学十年调查受到广泛赞誉，因为它对联邦机构的规划和决策产生了积极影响，此外还促进了太空科学界的团结。年代际调查的显著特点是它能够彻底抽样一个科学界的研究兴趣、愿望和需求。通过严格的程序，初级调查委员会和社区成员的专题小组构建了科学目标和目的的优先计划，并确定了可以在预期预算和技术资源的情况下实现这些目标的战略。与过去的十年调查一样，下一次太阳和空间物理十年调查的目的是吸引广泛的社区参与，使社区参与建立共识，并为未来十年设定具体学科的科学目标和优先事项。该研究将为太阳和空间物理领域提供科学方向；组织科学界和相关机构，特别是NASA、NSF和NOAA；通知立法和行政部门的其他决策者（特别是行政管理和预算局和OSTP）；记录对在太阳和空间物理方面受过科学和技术训练的工作人员的需要；并传达太阳能和空间物理学的社会效益（例如，跨学科联系，教育，劳动力培训，公众宣传）。调查报告还将有助于公众更好地了解太阳和空间物理学的最新成就和未来目标。新的十年调查将更新和扩展2013年的十年调查，该调查产生了报告《太阳和空间物理学：技术社会的一门科学》。该项目资助美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院的空间研究委员会（SSB）建立一个十年调查委员会，以制定一项全面的科学和任务战略，用于大约从2024年开始的为期十年的太阳和空间物理学（太阳物理学）研究。调查委员会大约有18名成员，根据学院在若干方面的专门知识和多样性准则组成，将负责研究的全面组织和执行，以及编写一份最终的协商一致报告，该报告将经过国家学院通常的审查程序。委员会的工作情况将由最多六个专门研究小组提供，每个小组由12-14名成员组成，研究领域的分配将由调查委员会和空间研究理事会决定。拟议的活动将被NSF和其他联邦机构用于制定未来在太阳能和空间物理研究和观测能力方面的投资计划。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The National Academies’ decadal surveys in space science have been widely praised for having a positive impact on federal agency planning and decision-making, in addition to promoting unity within the space science community. Decadal surveys are notable in their ability to sample thoroughly the research interest, aspirations, and needs of a scientific community. Through a rigorous process, a primary survey committee and thematic panels of community members construct a prioritized program of science goals and objectives and define a strategy that can achieve these objectives given anticipated budgetary and technical resources. As with past decadal surveys, the next solar and space physics decadal survey is designed to draw widespread community participation, engage the community in consensus-building, and set specific discipline-specific science targets and priorities for the coming decade. The study will provide scientific direction for the field of solar and space physics; organize the scientific community and the relevant agencies, particularly NASA, NSF, and NOAA; inform other decision-makers in the legislative and executive branches (particularly OMB and OSTP); document the needs for a scientifically- and technically-trained workforce in solar and space physics; and communicate the societal benefits of solar and space physics (e.g., interdisciplinary connections, education, workforce training, public outreach). The survey report will also contribute to the general public’s greater understanding of recent accomplishments and future goals in solar and space physics. The new decadal survey will update and extend the 2013 decadal survey that resulted in the report, Solar and Space Physics, A Science for a Technological Society. This project funds the Space Studies Board (SSB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to establish a decadal survey committee to develop a comprehensive science and mission strategy for solar and space physics (heliophysics) research for a ten-year period beginning in approximately 2024. The Survey Committee, numbering approximately 18 members and constituted according to Academy guidelines for expertise and diversity along a number of axes, will be responsible for the overall organization and execution of the study, as well as the production of a final consensus report that will undergo the usual National Academies review processes. The Committee will be informed in its work by up to six specialized study panels—each with 12-14 members—with allocation of the domain of study among them to be determined by the Survey Committee and the Space Studies Board. The proposed activity will be used by NSF and other federal agencies in formulating plans for future investments in solar and space physics-research and observational capabilities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
