session 2

Title: Science Goals and Drivers for Future Exoplanet, Space Astronomy and Space Physics
type: oral
Description: The session has invited and contributed talks about scientific motivations, goals, opportunities, and needs in the four fields (exoplanets, space astronomy, space physics, and fundamental physics). 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.
