NONREIMBURSABLE UMBRELLA INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR FOR SUSTAINABLE LAND IMAGING RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND OPERATIONS.Interagency Agreement • March 20th, 2017
Contract Type FiledMarch 20th, 2017This Umbrella IAA (hereinafter referred to as the “Umbrella IAA”) shall be for the purpose of collaboration between NASA and DOI on a Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) program that enables the development of a multi-decade, spaceborne system that will provide users worldwide with high-quality, global, land-imaging measurements that are compatible with the existing 44-year record; that will address near-and longer-term issues of continuity risk; and that will evolve flexibly and responsibly through investment in, and introduction of, new sensor and system technologies. Under the SLI program, NASA and DOI will continue to work together to ensure sustained access to land remote-sensing observations for U.S. research and operational users. The plan reflects focused study and collaboration between NASA and DOI in developing program strategy and architecture, identifying user needs, and defining mission requirements. NASA will maintain responsibility for developing, launching and checking out spac
