Raine, Julie 
The broad objectives of this project are, 
e To study the utility of high resolution, multispectral data for early detection of crop 
stress. 
e Toestablish an operational procedure for quick extraction of information on a farm 
level and making it available to the farmers in a timely manner. 
Extension and outreach of the technology to farmers. 
Work co-operation with other research organizations and farmer co-operatives in the 
region to promote the use of this technology. 
2) The challenge of this task is to extend the uses of NASA science data sets to users in non- 
science communities. 
As a NASA Earth Science Information Partner (ESIP) (NCC 5-309) and a NASA Affiliated 
Research Center (ARC), our mission is to develop remote sensing applications from the NASA 
and other data sets for use by state and local government resource managers, industry, and 
other science users. Our aim is to process and add value to these data so managers can extract 
required information for their daily management problems and decisions. Another challenge 
focuses on researching applications of high resolution, multispectral, and multitemporal 
imagery for arms control and treaty verification 
Ongoing Activities: 
Future activities and focuses within the SDB program will be reviewed for the remainder 
of the three year program.
