Principal-investigator (PI) Earth science missions are small, focused science projects involving relatively small spacecraft. The selected PI is responsible for the scientific and programmatic success of the entire project. A particular objective of PI-led missions has been to help develop university-based research capacity. Such missions, however, pose significant challenges that are beyond the capabilities of most universities to manage. To help NASA's Office of Earth Science determine how best to address these, the NRC carried out an assessment of key issues relevant to the success of university-based PI-led Earth observation missions. This report presents the result of that study. In particular, the report provides an analysis of opportunities to enhance such missions and recommendations about whether and, if so, how they should be used to build university-based research capabilities.

Steps to Facilitate Principal-Investigator-Led Earth Science Missions
A lot of excellent material and a handful of not-so-hot selections. This anthology of articles, mostly by scientists and engineers many of whom also write science fiction, examines multiple possibilities in terms of both technologies and destinations.
A few overlook some obvious holes in their reasoning, but most are thought-provoking and solidly put together, especially the work of Dr. Robert Zubrin, which is exhaustively provided with hard science down to the detailed equations and inputs. Other authors look at economic and social concerns, so it's a balanced overview, addressing possibilities throughout the solar system, in interstellar space, and ultimately around other stars. Makes me wish I was my grandson's age with at least a plausible possibility of seeing some of the places discussed.
