These strategies were to be synthesized by an internal NASA working group into an overall exploration strategy for NASA. In May 2005 the NASA Strategic Roadmap Committee efforts were terminated, and further meetings were cancelled without a final report or recommendations being submitted by this committee. The preliminary results and products from the committee discussions were provided to an internal NASA study team, the Exploration Systems Architecture Study (ESAS).
