Attention is given to the Virtual Mission (VM) concept, wherein multiple scientific instruments will be on different platforms, in different orbits, operated from different control centers, at different institutions, and reporting to different user groups. The VM concept enables NASA's science and application users to accomplish their broad science goals with a fleet made up of smaller, more focused spacecraft and to alleviate the difficulties involved with single, large, complex spacecraft. The concept makes possible the stepwise 'go-as-you-pay' extensible approach recommended by Augustine (1990). It enables scientists to mix and match the use of many smaller satellites in novel ways to respond to new scientific ideas and needs.
