Space-Based Data Collection and Location Systems

NESDIS of NOAA is changing its policy concerning non- environmental use of the Argos space-based data collection and location system. As of this date, NESDIS will no longer promote the use of the Argos system for commercial non-environmental applications. Furthermore, NESDIS, in cooperation with the Department of Commerce Office of Air and Space Commercialization, is hosting a public meeting on December 12 and 13, 1996, to bring together current and planned space-based data collection and location service providers and users to present, discuss and document pertinent information necessary to reevaluate and redefine overall government policy and practice. This meeting is being held in recognition of the emerging market in commercial data collection and location services (e.g., Mobile Space Services), which motivated the recent change in Argos system use policy.
