The Planetary Science Decadal Survey is a publication of the United States National Research Council produced for NASA and other United States Government Agencies such as the National Science Foundation. The document identifies key questions facing planetary science and outlines recommendations for space and ground-based exploration ten years into the future. Missions to gather data to answer these big questions are described and prioritized, where appropriate. Similar Decadal Surveys cover astronomy and astrophysics, earth science, and heliophysics.
As of 2021 there have been two "Decadals", one published in 2002 for the decade from 2003 to 2013, and one in 2011 for 2013 to 2022. Work on the survey for 2023 to 2032 is currently in progress.
