Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) Commercialization Plan Industry Week 2026
About this Event
About this event
NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) invite Earth observation providers, analytics firms, and Cal/Val instrument manufacturers to join the 2026 Sustainable Land Imaging (SLI) Commercialization Plan Industry Week. This event provides an in-depth look at the evolving NASA/USGS approach to enabling a commercially supported future for Landsat-quality data and products. The week highlights a strategic shift toward a commercially enabled model for producing, validating, and delivering SLI data products. NASA and USGS aim to foster a competitive, sustainable U.S. Earth observation marketplace and to expand industry’s long-term role in supporting Landsat continuity. Industry Week offers both an open community-wide briefing and a series of scheduled by-invitation-only one-on-one sessions that enable deeper technical and business discussions with government program leaders.
