Strength Through DiversityKari J. Craun, Incoming ASPRS President
As any fi nancial planner will tell you, the key to investing wisely for the future is diversifi cation. One of the unique strengths of our Society lies in the diversity of its membership. As the remote sensing and geospatial industries have evolved nationally and globally, ASPRS has evolved to include a more balanced representation from the government, private, and academic sectors. There is also a good representation of members from a number of different cultures and countries. While I’m not convinced the composition of the Society was something planned in advance, it is certainly an asset ASPRS and its members can and should capitalize on now and cultivate in the future.
New Direction for the Landsat Data Continuity MissionDarrell L. Williams, Associate Chief, Hydrospheric and
Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, Earth – Sun Exploration Division, NASA Goddard
R.J. Thompson, Chief, USGS National Center for EROS
On December 23, 2005, Landsat Program Management received a memorandum from the Director of the Offi ce of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) revising the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) procurement strategy. As a result, NASA is planning to issue a solicitation for a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for a free-fl yer spacecraft mission. Further, NASA is planning a single award for the development and delivery of a spacecraft, instrument, observatory integration and test, and operational systems/sustaining engineering support. NASA is planning to provide launch services for the observatory and accept delivery on-orbit. The LDCM will have a 5-year mission life with 10-year expendable provisions. In addition, NASA plans to issue the solicitation with an optional requirement for the instrument to observe a portion of the thermal spectrum. It is critical to the Landsat program that the potential for schedule success is maximized. To this end, NASA is considering including fi nancial incentives for a timely delivery. Following a prescribed on-orbit acceptance period, NASA plans to transfer ownership of the observatory and the associated contract to the USGS who will then operate the spacecraft and manage the data.

Kari J. Craun is the Chief of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Central Region National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Partnership Offi ce. She is responsible for development of partnerships with other Federal, State, and local governments, as well as with
the private and academic sectors, for furthering the development of NSDI within the 15 states of the USGS Central Region. She supervises a network of state and Federal liaisons focused on assuring base geospatial data availability within the Region.
Prior to coming into her current position, Ms. Craun was Chief of the USGS Mid-Continent Mapping Center (2001-2005). She had previously worked in other positions with the USGS in both Rolla, MO and Reston, VA. Before joining the USGS in 1988, she was with the Defense Mapping Agency in San Antonio, Texas and Brookmont, Maryland .
Ms. Craun joined ASPRS as a graduate student in 1987. She has been actively involved in the ASPRS Central (formerly Rolla) Region as President in 2001 and also served as the Region’s National Director. She co-chaired the 2001 ASPRS annual conference in St. Louis and was elected by the National Board of Directors to serve on the ASPRS Executive Committee in 2002.
Ms. Craun received a B.S. degree in Geology from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1984 and an M.S. degree in Photogrammetry from Purdue University in 1987.
Darrel L. Williams has served as the Landsat-7 Project Scientist since 1992, and also manages NASA’s LBA-ECO Project in Brazil. He has authored more than 100 publications and given scores of talks in the fi eld of remote sensing. The majority of his work has involved the development of enhanced techniques for assessing forest ecosystems worldwide. He has received numerous awards during his 31 years of service at NASA Goddard, including awards from external organizations such as the U.S Department of Agriculture and the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Foremost among his awards are the NASA Medal for Outstanding Leadership (1997), NASA’s Exceptional Service Medal (2000), and the Aviation Week and Space Technology “1999 Laurels Award” for outstanding achievement in the fi eld of Space in recognition of his science leadership role for the highly successful Landsat 7 mission. Dr. Williams received his BS and MS degrees in Forest Science from the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) in 1973 and 1974, respectively, and his PhD in Physical Geography from the University of Maryland in 1989. In April 2006, Dr. Williams will receive an “Outstanding Alumni Award” from the School of Forest Resources at PSU.
R.J. Thompson was named Chief of the USGS National Center for EROS in May 2002, after nearly 40 years of service with USGS. Thompson joined USGS in 1962 and much of his career has focused on designing and implementing computer systems for a variety of scientifi c and administrative applications within USGS. He transferred to EROS in 1971 as a senior systems analyst responsible for developing the database and information system for the initial Landsat satellite remote sensing program. Thompson holds a BS in computer science from the University of Missouri at Rolla. He has received a number of awards and citations including the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Meritorious Service Award and Distinguished Service Award.
