Analysis and Fifteen-Year Projection of the Market for Landsat Data

摘要

The potential market for LANDSAT products through the 1990's was determined. Results are presented in a matrix format. Improved resolution is a major factor in the marketability of LANDSAT data, the 10 meter resolution (projected for 1995) having a significant impact on the federal, private, and international users, and on the agricultural, minerals, and national defense applications. Data delivery time and competition from the French remote sensing system are considered.
