Nasa ’s Beyond Einstein Program: An Architecture for Implementation
F
Mission Teams’ Tech nology Funding Inputs to the Committee
The funding requirements and assumptions for continuing the mission development activities for the 11 mission candidates shown in Table F.1 were essentially developed from inputs provided to the committee by the individual mission teams. As shown, the teams were asked to identify continuation activities at two budgetary levels: (1) the level of mission risk reduction to prepare input for the next astronomy and astrophysics decadal survey of the National Research Council and (2) the bare minimum budget level to sustain the mission team in a meaningful way.
Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole. Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter.
Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
Do not use for reproduction, copying, pasting, or reading; exclusively for search engines.
