Cartography

The EROS Cartography Program emphasizes the relationship between topographic activities of the U. S. Geological Service and those at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center. Its objectives are to apply remote sensing systems on high altitude aircraft and orbiting satellites for topographic, planimetric, and thematic mapping of the earth's surface. The goal is to produce specially processed imagery from which useful information can be derived for a varity of disciplines associated with earth resources.
