# Requirements Capabilities & Analysis for Earth Observations

The USGS National Land Imaging Program evaluates satellite capabilities to determine effective solutions for addressing civil agency and societal challenges, allowing land managers and policymakers to make informed decisions about natural resources and the environment. A user-centered, solution-driven approach creates a robust suite of innovative earth observation technology, data, and services.

### Tell Us About Your Needs

Work with us to document your land imaging needs using our standardized data collection process. Once captured, your needs will be available to us and will be considered in all of our activities. 

Learn More About User Needs

### Search Satellite Capabilities

We compile detailed information about U.S., international, and commercial land imaging satellite systems, and provide access to a variety of land imaging data and data products.

Access Capabilities Information 

### How We Inform Decisions

We provide quantitative and qualitative assessments to support investment decisions that will meet the most needs for the most users. Explore how this information is being used to inform decisions.
