E-MAIL: Linda C. Freeman, linda.carr-freeman@ssc.nasa.gov. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SOLICITATION ISSUANCE -- NASA/SSC is hereby soliciting information for potential sources for the following: Landsat Continuity Mission via the Purchase of Data By The National Aeronautics and Space Administration And The U.S. Geological Survey/Department of the Interior This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued by the Earth Science Enterprise of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) of the Department of the Interior to investigate the purchase of science-quality data from commercial sources. This RFI seeks information about potential private (i.e., non-government) sources of Landsat-type data and about the rough order-of-magnitude costs for purchasing such data. These Landsat-type data are needed to extend the record of repetitive data from Landsats 1-5 and that will soon be acquired by Landsat-7. All Landsat data are archived and distributed by the USGS. The USGS and NASA will use information from this RFI forprogram planning and budgeting purposes only. However, future procurement activities may result from this fact-finding exercise. Please visit our web site at http://procurement.nasa.gov/EPS/SSC/class.html for a complete description of this Landsat Continuity Mission Posted 07/09/99 (D-SN352481). (0190)
