Bill overview
The ASCEND Act authorizes NASA to establish a program to acquire and disseminate commercial Earth remote sensing data and imagery. This program, building on a successful pilot program, aims to supplement NASA’s existing Earth observation capabilities and make this data available to a wider range of users, including other federal agencies and researchers. The bill prioritizes purchasing data from U.S. vendors and promotes transparency by allowing for the publication of derived information from the acquired data.
