"Last week, the federal minister for Resources and Northern Australia,
Madeleine King, signed a A$207 million commitment with the United States in
support of “Landsat Next”.

Aptly named, this is the next generation of an Earth observation satellite
program from which Australia has benefited for over 40 years.

The commitment means we will make a critical contribution to global Earth
observation efforts with our cutting-edge data management. In essence, we will
be the custodians of data downloaded from new Landsat satellites – a major
role."
