SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The USGS Land Remote Sensing (LRS) Program is currently planning 
for the next generation of Landsat satellites. These satellites will 
continue the multi-decadal continuous collection of moderate-
resolution, multispectral, remotely-sensed imagery through the Landsat 
program. Landsat satellite imagery has been available at no cost to the 
public since 2008, which has resulted in the distribution of millions 
of scenes each subsequent year, as well as tens of thousands of Landsat 
users registering with USGS to access the data. In order to continue to 
provide high quality imagery that meets the needs of users, LRS is 
collecting current and future user requirements for sensor and 
satellite attributes. These attributes include spatial resolution, 
spectral bands, frequency of acquisition, and many others. LRS will use 
the information from this collection to understand if they are 
currently meeting the needs of their user community and to help 
determine the features of future Landsat satellites. Questions will be 
asked to determine user characteristics, current uses of imagery, 
preferred attributes of Landsat imagery, and benefits of Landsat 
imagery. All current Landsat imagery users who are registered with USGS 
will be invited to take part in the survey.
    To protect the confidentiality and privacy of survey respondents, 
the data from the survey will not be associated with any respondent's 
email address at any time and will only be analyzed and reported in 
aggregate. All files containing PII will be password-protected, housed 
on secure USGS servers, and only accessible to the research team. The 
data from the survey will be aggregated and statistically analyzed and 
the results will be published in publically available USGS reports.
