Oertel and Malcolm Longair regarding the book. The documents were taken from within the book, between the front cover and first page.DescriptionThis report is the result of two years of study by a committee of astronomers from the USA and from ESA that was charted by AURA, through the Space Telescope Institute Council, with support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The report sets two closely related visionary goals for Optical and Ultraviolet Astronomy from Space and charts a challenging but realistic course to their attainment. Its section on science and society eloquently defines a context in which policy-makers can consider the merits of pursuing the report's twin goals: planetary exploration beyond our own solar system; and scientific inquiry into the cores of distant objects that hold crucial clues to the origin of the universe and our place within it.
