U.S. Geological Survey

US

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a scientific agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior that provides science-based information about the Earth, its natural resources, and natural hazards. Within the space industry, USGS plays a vital role in land remote sensing, operating the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, and managing the Landsat program in partnership with NASA, providing the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's land. Furthermore, USGS leverages its expertise in mapping and resource assessment to study and map space resources, including extraterrestrial minerals, metals, and water, supporting potential future space mining endeavors.
