Land Remote Sensing Program
The year 1999 marked a new era in remote sensing for the USGS; the USGS assumed responsibility for the operation of the Nation's land remote sensing satellites and the development of future land-focused satellite missions. In coordination with its public and private sector partners, the USGS, through the LRS Program, is ensuring that alternative data sources and evolving technologies are evaluated and utilized to their maximum potential to meet our Nation's land remote sensing requirements.
Document Accessibility: Adobe Systems Incorporated has information about PDFs and the visually impaired. This information provides tools to help make PDF files accessible. These tools convert Adobe PDF documents into HTML or ASCII text, which then can be read by a number of common screen-reading programs that synthesize text as audible speech. In addition, an accessible version of Acrobat Reader 7.0 for Windows (English only), which contains support for screen readers, is available. These tools and the accessible reader may be obtained free from Adobe at Adobe Access.
