A NASA method is described for forecasting remote sensing needs in the last decade of this century and for planning the necessary space system technology R&D. Five- and ten-year plans for earth observations in various disciplines are extrapolated forward to circa 1995 via a scenario which envisions major advances in remote sensing and information management. Space system studies identify the 'technology drivers', and development programs are initiated to develop the enabling technology. An example is given for a multipurpose large-aperture microwave radiometer spacecraft.
