The present status of NASA's remote sensing program and its future plans are reviewed, and some investigations into the possible uses of remotely sensed data are briefly summarized. Landsat-1 photographs are presented to demonstrate how such data can be employed for monitoring and forecasting of agricultural production, for watershed management and flood control, and for mineral exploration. The performance of Landsat-2 and expectations for Landsat-C are evaluated. High-priority problems which should be the driving forces for designing space observation systems for the 1980's are outlined, including the problem of world food supply and the relationship between land use and climatic changes. The design of the modular Landsat-D spacecraft, which will fly a thematic mapper for agricultural observations, is described.
