NASA and USAID collaboration

Exciting news! NASA and USAID announced a 5 year agreement today to advance international development efforts through science and technology.

According to the announcement, the agreement is supposed to "formalize ongoing agency collaborations that use Earth science data to address developmental challenges, and to assist in disaster mitigation and humanitarian responses."


The two organizations have collaborated in the past in the LAUNCH program, which supports problem-solving innovations to global challenges like water scarcity and energy .... It will be interesting to see what type of programs come out of this new agreement.
