"Between June 2001 and January 2002, planetary scientists from around the United States and other nations created 24 self-selected panels to discuss issues facing solar system exploration in 2003-2013 and how those issues should be addressed. Each panel generated a white paper, containing their conclusions and recommendations. These were forwarded to the National Research Council as community input in support of the Solar System Exploration Decadal Survey and comprise the chapters of this book."
