During 1988, the National Research Council's Space Science Board reorganized itself to more effectively address NASA's advisory needs. The Board's scope was broadened: it was renamed the Space Studies Board and, among other new initiatives, the Committee on Human Exploration was created. The new committee was intended to focus on the scientific aspects of human exploration programs, rather than engineering issues. Their research led to three reports: "Scientific Prerequisites for the Human Exploration of Space" published in 1993, "Scientific Opportunities in the Human Exploration of Space" published in 1994, and "Science Management in the Human Exploration of Space" published in 1997. These three reports are collected and reprinted in this volume in their entirety as originally published.
