NASA Advanced Component Technology Program, Investments in Remote Sensing Technologies

Investments in remote sensing technologies have become increasingly important as Earth Scientists strive to better understand changes of the Earth System on a global scale. This paper discusses investments in active and passive remote sensing technologies that will provide new measurement capabilities for advanced observing satellites systems. Such measurements will enable more reliable predictions of weather, climate and other globally important elements of the Earth’s system. The Earth Science Technology Office, Advanced Component Technology program manages this portfolio of technology developments for the Earth Science Enterprise.

Science for Society: Delivering Earth System Science Knowledge for Decision Support in the Year 2025

The Earth Science Enterprise Applications Program mission is as follows: Expand and accelerate the realization of societal and economic benefits from Earth science, information, and technology. The Applications Program serves its mission, the Earth Science Enterprise and the Nation by benchmarking practical uses of NASA sponsored observations from remote sensing systems and predictions from scientific research for decision makers. This mission in 2003 will still need to be accomplished in 2025 as the understanding of Earth system science increases and as new and/or continuing challenges face the citizens of the home planet. The ESE Applications Strategy builds on the strategies and results of the ESE Research Program and of the ESE Technology Program. Therefore, as these programs develop a vision for the future, it is important for the Applications Program to consider the vision of NASA for 2025 and have its own vision for how the decision makers of 2025 may use the visionary observation and prediction products to serve society. This paper will propose an architecture for an Earth Resources Management Infrastructure to serve decision makers in the Year 2025.
