Joe Fuller continues his participation on National Research Council Beyond Einstein Program Assessment Committee: Report released in September

On September 6, 2007, The National Research Council (NRC) released to the public its upcoming report "NASA's Beyond Einstein Program: An Architecture for Implementation". Beyond Einstein is NASA's research roadmap for five proposed mission areas to study the most compelling questions at the intersection of physics and astronomy. NASA and DOE asked the committee to assess the five proposed mission areas and recommend one for first development and launch. NASA’s Beyond Einstein program, set to begin in 2009, is comprised of two astronomical observatories, Constellation-X and LISA, as well as a series of probes: the Inflation Probe (IP), the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), and JDEM.

Futron President Joe Fuller participated in the development of the report and continues to serve on the Beyond Einstein Program Assessment Committee.
