This document conveys the recommendations of the NOSS Science Working Group charged with three tasks: first, to recommend sensor modifications and additions to fill the 25 % of the spacecraft capacity which had been reserved for research purposes; second, to identify research problems amenable to solution utilizing NOSS data; and third, to recommend appropriate facilities for the research community to use NOSS data effectively in the solution of these problems.
