Astro2010: The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey Summary Astro2010, the current astronomy and astrophysics decadal survey, is the latest in a series of surveys that are produced every 10 years by the National Research Council (NRC) of The National Academy of Sciences. The survey statement of task, structure, committee/panel membership, and community input processes are described on these pages, along with an FAQ. Astro2010 is organized by the NRC's Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) in cooperation with the Space Studies Board (SSB). Project Information Statement of Task The Committee on Astro2010 will survey the field of space- and ground-based astronomy and astrophysics, recommending priorities for the most important scientific and technical activities of the decade 2010-2020.
The principal goals of the study will be to carry out an assessment of activities in astronomy and astrophysics, including both new and previously identified concepts, and to prepare a concise report that will be addressed to the agencies supporting the field, the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the scientific community, and the public.
