LANDSAT DATA CONTINUITY STRATEGY (OSTP)
The U.S. Government will have to modify its strategy in to preserve the collection of Landsat data, according to a recent memorandum from the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy. "After careful consideration in interagency discussions, all parties agreed that adjustments to the current near-term strategy and development of a new long-term strategy are required in order to ensure the continuity of Landsat-type data," wrote Dr. John H. Marburger III. See his December 23 memo on Landsat Data Continuity Strategy Adjustment here: http://www.fas.org/irp/news/2005/12/ostp122305.pdf -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

The ustream was hard to listen to but significant stuff here. We now have more than 40 years of 30 meters of Earth monitoring... being made available for free.
Landsat may end after Landsat 8, and that, given the challenges facing us in the 21st century, would be a tragedy. |
