Excerpt from S. 2297, the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, One Hundred Second Congress, Second Session, May 6, 1992 Now let me just turn briefly to the Landsat management plan. As you are aware, the management plan essentially defines the roles of dod and nasa - nasa representing the u.s. Global change research community, and dod the national security com munity. The project is essentially to be split evenly between the two agencies, and there is to be a close working relationship, each agency participating in the other's activities to ensure the technical details and other things are well coordinated. To that end there is a Landsat coordination group which will be jointly chaired by the two agencies. The goals for the follow-ou Landsat, Landsat 7, are simple. We want to maintain data continuity. And to that end, Landsat 7 will have the same capabilities as Landsat 6, and will provide continu ities through Landsats 4, 5, 6, and then 7. The system will be oper ated in such a way as to make the data available to all u.s. Civil ian, national security, and private sector users.
