The conclusions and recommendations from a three-day NASA sponsored workshop to assess deficiencies and shortcomings of previously flown electro-optical space sensors are summarized. Space technologists for NASA, NOAA, DOD, and industry also developed recommendations for improving instrumentation and calibration technology. The conclusions reached include the fact that the past knowledge of in-orbit radiometric accuracy has been poor relative to available calibration standards, whereas stringent accuracy requirements for planned NASA programs will require significant SOA improvements. The Shuttle contamination environment may also compromise future sensor accuracy. A number of panel recommendations to improve in-orbit accuracy of future sensors will be summarized, including one to establish a set of National Standards for Remote Sensors at NBS as a basis for long term accuracy.
