By working with advanced planners in the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications (OSSA), a spacecraft technology model has been generated that represents the predominant themes of their respective programs for the next twenty years. This set of missions serves as a base from which a few representative and challenging landmark missions have been extracted to serve as a focal point for identifying the most critical technology issues. Each mission requires significant advances in several technology disciplines in order to be feasible. The mission set selected to serve as a technology focus reflects the increased emphasis within NASA on a potential civil space leadership initiative, and include the Geostationary Earth Observing PLatform from the Planet Earth initiative and the precursor Mars Rover and Sample Return mission from the Mars Exploration Initiative. These missions are briefly described and the key technology requirements are discussed.
