The Aerospace Industries Association takes great pride in our member companies’ work in support of the space-based. Earth observations capabilities that NASA, NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other government agencies put to use on behalf of our nation and people worldwide. As with many things in science, you can often only truly understand something when you step back far enough to see it in full detail. Today, as this report details, space-based Earth observations are critical to saving lives in the event of natural disasters, improving the management of our resources and infrastructure, understanding our weather and supporting national security.
