NASA’s New Approach to Earth Science Missions

NASA is transforming its Earth science missions to prioritize practical applications from the start. This shift aims to ensure that data from missions like the Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) and ICESat-2 are immediately useful for addressing urgent environmental challenges. By integrating user needs into mission design and enhancing existing programs, NASA is making its data more accessible and actionable for decision-makers worldwide.
