3. Background
In August 1999, ASPRS and NASA's Commercial Remote Sensing Program (CRSP) entered into a 5-year Space Act Agreement (SAA), combining resources and expertise to:
Baseline the Remote Sensing Industry (RSI)
Develop a 10-Year RSI market forecast
Provide improved information for decision makers
Develop attendant processes

4. Mission
Within 5 years, the joint ASPRS/NASA CRSP endeavor will produce a cohesive, comprehensive Remote Sensing Industry analysis that will serve as the planning standard for both U.S. Government and private industry enterprises and will facilitate U.S. dominance in this highly competitive market.
By the end of FY 2004, ASPRS and CRSP will jointly develop a process that:
Enables analysis of the Remote Sensing Industry
Baselines the industry
Presents a 10-year business forecast

10. Survey Results
Definitions and Approach
Base Data
11/11/2018

11. Definitions and Approach Objective: Decision Quality Information
Population. The group about which we collected data.
Sample. Subset of the population. The extent to which samples represent the population determines the value of the findings.
Validity. The degree to which the survey measures what it is supposed to measure.
Reliability. Degree to which the survey results measure the intended object.
Approach
Determine study and survey objectives.
Select Remote Sensing Industry market sectors (Population) of interest (Commercial/NFP, Government, Academia).
Sample the market sectors. Determine degree to which sample represents population of interest.
Collect data. Treat the data using standard statistical practices.
Analyze the data.
Report results.
