NASA: Enhanced Access to Satellite Data for Science and Education
This act aims to streamline NASA's acquisition and dissemination of commercial Earth remote sensing data. This will provide scientists and educational institutions with broader access to information about our planet, potentially leading to a better understanding of climate and environmental changes, as well as the development of new technologies.
Key points
NASA will purchase more satellite data from private companies to support scientific research and education.
This data will be more widely available to scientists and other users, not just those funded by NASA.
The act requires NASA to report annually to Congress on how it uses this data and the benefits derived from it.
