Government Survey Conclusions Government activities in photogrammetry and remote sensing will increase through 2004. This will probably have positive growth effect on RSI Market Budget, Technology, and Customer Needs appear to be factors most likely to affect mission activities; Political Considerations follow A large % of respondents “Don’t Know” how much will be invested in various RS-related areas out to 2004; probably related to the strong relevance of budget affecting mission activities However, investment in RS-related areas will probably continue at present levels out to 2004 Government hiring in remote sensing and photogrammetry will remain at current low levels 2000-2004 The assertion that government competes with the private sector in the distribution of RS data gains credence based on agency policies Government management structure will probably remain as is through 2004 4/21/2019
