We’ve had six major launches in the past year and have several more to come later this year and next. There’s also a lot of formulation work going on for the next generation of Earth science missions. Personnel and facility resources have been stressed, so we reprioritize and mediate conflicts as we have to. COHEN: How does NASA decide which Earth science missions should get those limited resources? MORROW: An Earth science decadal survey was completed about two years ago. That serves as the overarching guidance for what an Earth science program should look like at NASA. Mike Freilich, who’s the head of Earth science at NASA Headquarters, is using that survey as his road map for what priority should be given to which missions and which should be launched first. COHEN: I sometimes think the public forgets how much NAS
