Slashdot links to an CNN/AP article about budget cuts seriously affecting NASA satellites plans. From the article: "Since that report came out, NASA has chosen to cancel or mothball at least three planned satellites in an effort to save money. Cost overruns have delayed a new generation of weather satellites until at least 2010 and probably 2012, leading a Government Accountability Office official to label the enterprise "a program in crisis."" Informative article, even if alarmist. The Landsat and EOS programs are also discussed.

Technology: The NPOESS Weather Satellites Woes
[+]
All Points Blog links to a Living on Earth interview on the NPOESS weather satellites difficulties. From the transcript: "But a program to build the nation's next generation of weather satellites is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. And as Living On Earth's Bruce Gellerman reports, the crisis could jeopardize our ability to forecast the weather. [...] After an intense review, the Pentagon chose to keep NPOESS alive. Military officials concluded the weather satellite program was essential to national security. But it cut the program dramatically." The official NPOESS website.
NASA Earth Observation Budget
[+]
Slashdot has an interesting discussion on NASA's Earth Observation budget. Their summary: "[...] a new report by the National Research Council warning that, by 2010, the number of NASA's Earth-observing missions will drop dramatically, and the number of operating sensors and instruments on NASA spacecraft will decrease by 40 percent. The report says, "The United States' extraordinary foundation of global observations is at great risk." Popular Mechanics asks an MIT professor what it all means. From these accounts it is clear that the Bush administration's priorities on a Mars mission and a moon base are partly to blame for the de-emphasizing of earth science. Neither article quite says that some responsibility must fall to the administration's footdragging on global warming." This informative comment tells us the budget is increasing, but just not as fast as promised. See related stories below. Update: 01/22 17:49 GMT by S : Very Spatial links to a smaller MSNBC article on the subject.
Technology: USGS to Release New Quality Landsat Data Next Week
[+]
Slashdot discuss a USGS announcement of the release of new high quality Landsat data on June 4. Their summary: "The US Geological Survey homepage is featuring an article about the upcoming release of select Landsat 7 image data (on June 4) at glovis.usgs.gov or earthexplorer.usgs.gov. This is to be a pilot project for a larger effort called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, whose end result looks like a version of Google Earth using Landsat data. Seven Landsat satellites were launched over a period of 27 years, the last in 1999. More on Landsat can be found here on Wikipedia or here at the official NASA Page." From the announcement: "This Web-enabled distribution of new and recently acquired data is a pilot project for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), currently projected for launch in 2011." See also previous story below about Landsat-8.
Technology: Landsat Data Continuity Mission Update
[+]
Last week ago we told you about Landsat-5 problems, Very Spatial links to a NASA update on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission. This topic was discussed a few times before (see previous stories below). The article's introduction: "In a world newly awash with geospatial information, only Landsat offers a rich archive of global mid-resolution, highly calibrated, multispectral data of Earth’s landmasses. To extend this legacy, plans are in the works for a July 2011 launch of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), which will collect and archive data consistent with its predecessor Landsat satellites. This July, NASA selected Ball Aerospace and Technology Corporation to build LDCM’s Operational Land Imager (OLI) instrument, bringing the long-awaited Landsat follow-on mission closer to actualization."
