... , who wrote to the chairmen of the SSB and ASEB requesting that the boards "explore the formation of a joint committee on technology for space science and applications." The Associate Administrators noted that they "would be pleased to see closer working arrangements between the SSB and ASEB, particularly in the areas of identifying, evaluating, and recommending critical technology developments needed for the realization of our national goals for space science and applications." REPORT MENU The two boards formed a Joint Committee on Technology for Space NOTICE Science and Applications that began to investigate ways in which the boards MEMBERSHIP could combine their areas of expertise to provide a new service to NASA. They PREFACE decided that a series of studies on topics of concern to both the space science EXECUTIVE SUMMARY and space engineering communities would be a valuable way of opening the CHAPTER 1 dialogue between the two groups.
