When the space exploration initiative was announced, Congress asked the NRC to reviewthe science NASA proposed to carryout under the initiative. It also asked the NRC toassess whether this program would provide balanced scientific research across theestablished disciplines supported by NASA in addition to supporting the new initiative.In 2005, the NRC released three studies focusing on a portion of that task, but changes atNASA forced the postponement of the last phase.
