About the Survey
The 2013 Decadal Survey provides an outstanding science program for the next decade building on our strong foundation of success in planetary science.
Video presentations are available on the 42nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference video page. The Planetary Decadal Survey Briefing also is archived.
The following links contain background and information about the survey and its impact on future space exploration.The map and chart on the right shows the date and locations of Town Hall discussions about the survey.

What is the Decadal Survey?
The National Research Council (NRC) conducts studies that provide a science community consensus on key questions posed by NASA and other U.S. Government agencies. The broadest of these studies in NASA's areas of research are decadal surveys. As the name implies, NASA and its partners ask the NRC once each decade to look out ten or more years into the future and prioritize research areas, observations, and notional missions to make those observations.
