Workshop on Earth-Orbital Planetary AstronomyDuring the last 15 years, a revolution has occurred in the understanding of the physical nature of the solar system. The most conspicuous contributions have come from investigations on spacecraft, ranging from the early Explorers to the current Voyagers. Less conspicuous but equally important are the discoveries that have come from parallel investigations in ground-based, airborne and Earth-orbital astronomy. The role of Earth-based remote observations in achieving the goals of Solar System Exploration's Planetary Astronomy Program are currently under review. To assess the specific need for future Earth-orbital facilities, a workshop was convened at Jet Propulsion Laboratory on 13 to 15 January, 1986. The charter of the workshop included requests to (1)identify and need for Earth-orbital observations within the context of the current goals of the Solar System Exploration Program and (2)identify candidate facilities and instruments required to support these needs.
