satellites. Venus and minor objects will also be realistic themes beyond the
initial engineering programs based on Moon. The decision will be expected
in the near future.
We need extensive discussions among scientists and engineers, not
only in JAXA but also in Japan and in foreign communities. The JAXA
space science programs should be discussed, decided, and promoted by
ourselves.
Acknowledgments
The authors would like to thank all the members who have contributed to
past and current space science programs of ISAS and ISAS/JAXA. They
also acknowledge the contributions of young scientists in the Japanese space
communities who contributed to the intense discussions for future space
programs.
