The opportunity
The Australian Government has announced it will partner with the United States in the Landsat Next Earth satellite program.

Underpinned by new investment of $207.4m over the next 4 years, Australia will become the first country to join the Landsat 2030 International Partnerships Initiative.


Australia's contributions to this partnership will be delivered by Geoscience Australia and will involve investment in new science to take full advantage of Landsat Next's advanced capabilities, including an up to nine-fold increase in spatial resolution for key bands, more than twice the number of spectral bands, and increased frequency of data collection.

Geoscience Australia will also deliver significant improvements to our satellite ground station in Alice Springs, our data processing and distribution, quality assurance and integrity monitoring, and Digital Earth and Digital Atlas capabilities.


Our team


The Satellite Land Imaging Collection Branch (SLIC) will be at the forefront of Australia's delivery of the Landsat Next partnership.

A small but rapidly growing branch, SLIC comprises experts from a range of disciplines including data science, engineering, programmatics, Earth observations and remote sensing science, quality, and technical assurance.


SLIC will deliver an enhanced satellite ground segment including an upgraded Alice Springs ground station, expanded satellite data processing and delivery architectures, new quality and integrity monitoring systems and science, supported by robust partner and stakeholder engagement, integrated systems engineering, governance, and program management.
