Excerpt from book: 6 Unified Recommendations of the Advocacy Panels These unified recommendations have emerged from a detailed examination of solar-system plasma physics by the Panels on Plasma Physics of the Sun, Solar System Magnetohydrodynamics, and Solar System Plasma Processes. They were distilled from the panel reports by the chairman of the Committee on Space Physics together with the chairmen of the above panels. 6.1 BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Many important interactions between the principal parts of the solar system?the sun, interplanetary medium, and planets?are plasma physical in nature. 2. Studies of solar-system plasmas enlarge our total knowledge of plasma physics, which has important technological applications to energy, the environment, and space technology, among others. 3. A successful space plasma-physics research program must achieve an effective balance among space missions, theory, data analysis, and ground-based observations and experiments. In particular, theory will become an increasingly important factor in determining the success of future missions concerned with solar-system plasma physics. 6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. We recommend that solar-system plasma physics should have high priority in order to remain an integral part of the space-science research effort of the United States. 2. We recognize and encourage the existing trend toward problem-oriented missions in solar-system plasma physics. We recommend that the specific scientific questions discussed in the overviews serve as a focus of an active problem-oriented missions program devoted to observation and interpretations of the plasmas on the sun, near the earth and other planets, and in the interplanetary medium. In solar-system plasma physics, in particular, theory and data analysis p...
