2、t NASA programs to develop and introduce a major new capability with a broad commercial, public service, and scientific potential. Therefore, the insights to be gained from this twelve-fifteen years of experience might be of value not only in guiding the future research, development, and test (RD fo
3、r example, how and in what form is the technology and capability to be exploited? By whom, the government or private sector? Should the operational capability be internationalized? What is NASAs future role in land remote sensing? With the proper planning NASA should have been in a position to have
4、better answers to these questions.Lesson(s) Learned: The overselling of the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) data capability and the emphasis on applications during Phase II and III made it very difficult to gain support for advancing the sensor and data processing technology. While serious definition st
5、udies were conducted early in Phase III, the actual development of an advanced sensor (TM) did not start until late in this phase. Also, no serious advance development was initiated on the next generation sensor: i.e. electronic scanners.Recommendation(s): Too much emphasis on applications greatly r
