Science and Technical Advisory Commitee


The Science and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) is the main science and technical planning committee of the ORION Advisory Structure. While the OSC is focused on advising the Project Office on policies and procedures and on the longer-term scientific goals and development of the ORION Program, the STAC is focused on shorter-term (year-by-year) science planning and technical development, including production of the annual ORION Science and Operations Plan.
