The Space Science Board undertook the study of solar physics at the request of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to help guide the agency's future program. Specifically, the authors were asked to address the following questions: What is the scientific content of solar physics. What should be the future scientific directions. What should be the appropriate role of NASA in solar physics. A Study Panel was assembled, composed of members with broad scientific interests, and an Advocacy Panel, composed of practicing solar physicists and scientists with related interests. The purpose of the panel was to obtain an impartial assessment of the scientific content of the field, to identify the critical issues of solar physics, and to mobilize its practitioners to develop plans for future investigations.
