Technologies Enabling the NRC Decadal Survey
The National Research Council (NRC) completed and released the first decadal survey for NASA Earth Science – Earth Science and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next Decade and Beyond – in 2007. This decadal survey aids in the prioritization of research areas, observations, and notional missions to make those observations. At the time of publication, ESTO investments were already available to support all 18 of the recommended notional missions.

Since publication of the Decadal Survey, ESTO has made 58 additional investments that will further support and enable these measurement goals. Below are three interactive tables that provide the linkages between these recent ESTO investments and the NRC Decadal Survey missions.

A set of ESTO presentations and posters given at various Decadal Survey Mission workshops are also available on the ESTO Documents page.
