Abstract
An overwhelming 91% of space physicists surveyed recently believe that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should plan more frequent smaller missions, even at the expense of large missions. This was the most clearcut result of a NASA survey conducted by the Science Applications International Corporation.“This result shows that people want access to space,” said SAIC's Mark E. Pesses who, along with Rikhi Sharma, conducted the survey and presented the preliminary results at the AGU Spring Meeting. Respondents prefered smaller missions that are easier to participate in, over larger missions that take 10–15 years to fly.
