    Title

    Science Goals and Drivers for Future Exoplanet, Space Astronomy, Physics, and Outer Solar System Science Missions

    type

    oral

    Description

    The second session includes invited and contributed talks about scientific motivations, goals, opportunities, and needs in the five fields (exoplanets, space astronomy, space physics, fundamental physics, and outer solar system planetary science). New directions for measurements that are being opened by emergent results and newly understood phenomena will be explored, and science roadmaps to pursue them will be discussed.
