Call for Enduser Feedback of NOAA/NASA/USGS Satellite Earth Observation Needs
US Federal end users of satellite data—
UNTIL AUGUST 21st – You are invited to submit your agency’s satellite Earth observation needs to NASA, NOAA, and USGS via the 2026 Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG) survey! The SNWG survey gathers high-priority satellite needs every two years and to support new data product development and other investments to support agency missions.
To submit a survey:
-
Access the survey through a button on the SNWG website and submit your need (page may load slowly at first!)
-
If you have questions while filling out your survey, email your SNWG representatives (listed in a table on the SNWG website) or the NSITE team (info@snwg-impact.net)
-
Surveys will be reviewed by your agency’s senior leadership, then submitted to NASA
-
Deadlines: Survey is open until August 21st, but agencies have varying internal deadlines that can be EARLIER than 8/21. Communicate with your agency’s SNWG representative regarding agency specific timelines
Outcomes:
-
A team of experts from NASA, NOAA, and USGS will evaluate your survey in detail, including a discovery interview and report with information about relevant available resources tailored to your needs
- You will have a voice in activities NASA will implement in the coming years—solutions identified based on SNWG needs and co-designed with agencies to ensure they meet your needs
Your needs will help inform the solutions NASA proposes and implements in the coming years!
-
SNWG solutions include highly impactful datasets such as Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) and OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWx)
-
Solutions often involve harmonizing data from multiple satellites, producing low-latency products for operational use, or providing improved NASA data services
