AISR projects cover a wide range of technology areas as well as
science disciplines.
These projects cover the science focus of the four
divisions of Science Mission Directorate (SMD), namely the
Earth
, the Sun,
the Solar System,
and the
Universe. Many projects propose to apply their algorithms and
techniques to problems in more than one discipline. The diversity of projects
with respect to technology area and to the science application area
precludes a division of projects into precise classes. For this presentation,
we have chosen to divide the currently active projects into five classes.
First four classes are named after the four SMD divisions and
include projects whose primary, or initial, application area falls in the
respective division. The fifth class, Computational Science, includes projects
whose primary focus is computational algorithms, or are multi-disciplinary
in nature.
