{"product_id":"united-states-civil-space-policy-national-research-council-9780309120142","title":"United States Civil Space Policy: Summary of a Workshop","description":"In 2004, the NRC released a workshop report about the future direction of the U.S. civil space program. At the same time, the Administration announced the Vision for Space Exploration, and in June 2004, it issued a report that articulated a balanced space program for human and robotic exploration and science. Subsequent NRC reports, however, have noted that NASA has not been given the resources to carry out this broad-based program. This challenge, along with others faced by the U.S. civil space program, stimulated the NRC to form an ad hoc committee to organize a second workshop, held in November 2007, to address the space program's future directions. The workshop's goal was to air a range of views and perspectives so as to inform discussions of these questions by policymakers and the public. This book presents a summary of the workshop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309120144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309120142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.40w x 0.20d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447636340991,"sku":"9780309120142","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_515aa0fa-871c-4f12-99d5-aff33b227749.jpg?v=1777234019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-states-civil-space-policy-national-research-council-9780309120142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
