Fw: LDCM User Requirements

[John L Dwyer]

Dear Colleagues -

In my new position working on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), 
I'd like to bring your attention to news and information 
as we progress with the mission formulation phase.

Attached is an email below from one of my LDCM colleagues who is working 
on soliciting feedback from the user community regarding
requirements for data and information.  Please take a few minutes to 
review the questionaire and respond to Ann directly.

Second, information regarding the LDCM can be found at the NASA and USGS 
LDCM web sites.

For information on the instrument and spacecraft, please consult NASA's 
LDCM web site at
http://ldcm.nasa.gov/

For information on the Landsat Science Team that will be sponsored by the 
USGS, as well as information on the LDCM ground system,
consult the USGS LDCM web site at
http://ldcm.usgs.gov/history.php

Thanks in advance for providing your feedback.

Regards,

John

The USGS is in the midst of defining requirements for the next Landsat 
satellite, ground station, products, cost, data access mechanisms, meta 
data, etc. and ... well, we can make some educated guesses--or we can try 
to find out what the people who are using the data think we should do. 

 So this is your chance for YOU to tell US what you want! 

Because it's hard to report what a large group of people have to say 
without some form of standardized data collection, I've got a form I have 
to ask you to fill out.  I've tried to make it as simple as possible to 
click your way through it. We do have a lot of questions, though, so bear 
with us! 

If you'd rather just talk over the phone, let's set up a time! I'm happy 
to do that--there's nothing more fun to me than hearing our scientists' 
opinions--and what they're doing with the data!



Thanks again. I wish you well in all your studies,
