The Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), part of the U.S. Group on Earth Observations (USGEO), surveys U.S. Federal civil agencies every two years regarding the Earth observation data they need in order to accomplish their high-priority agency objectives. The 2020 SNWG survey marked the third assessment cycle (after 2016 and 2018). Information solicited by the survey includes the nature of the need, features and phenomena being observed, data measurement characteristics, satellites and data products the agency uses or plans to use, agency satisfaction with currently available data, and limitations to agency use of satellite data. For analysis purposes, agency needs are assigned to science Focus Areas such as atmospheric composition, carbon/ecosystems, solid Earth, water, etc. Analysis of the survey responses yields insights on the current landscape of Earth observation needs across the U.S. Government agencies. The evolution over multiple survey cycles has been analyzed by the SNWG Assessment team at the Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team (IMPACT) at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Key trends emerged in the agency-agnostic analysis that can be helpful to NASA decision-makers evaluating the ongoing, evolving, and emerging needs for NASA missions and instrument datasets expressed by participating agencies in the SNWG.
