“…While economics is ubiquitously needed in any research, from project proposal to the management of teams, there is virtually no interdisciplinarity between economics and the space or planetary sciences. Although economics can provide numerous insights with respect to new methodologies for understanding complex phenomena, systems failure or uncertainty, to name only a few, or theoretical advances with respect to understanding human behavior and society patterns both micro and macro, these aspects of the field are virtually unknown in the astronomy and astrophysics research (Berea, 2019).…”

In this paper we showcase the importance of understanding and measuring interdisciplinarity and other -disciplinarity concepts for all scientists, the role social sciences have historically played in NASA research and missions, the sparsity of social science interdisciplinarity in space and planetary sciences, including astronomy and astrophysics, while there is an imperative necessity for it, and the example of interdisciplinarity between social sciences and astrobiology. Ultimately we give voice to the scientists across all fields with respect to their needs, aspirations and experiences in their interdisciplinary work with social sciences through an ad-hoc survey we conducted within the Astro2020 Decadal Survey scientific community.
