Cover Story: As the cost of satellite missions grows, government agencies are working to increase the relevance and usefulness of the Earth science data they produce. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Early Adopter Program seeks to formalize partnerships with data users early within the satellite planning and development process to maximize the value of the mission. NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD) delivers a suite of Earth observation datasets, where the multiple-use nature of all its investments is pivotal, and observations are designed to serve curiosity-based and applications-oriented science, and simultaneously deliver societal benefits.
