REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES




Effects On Users Of Commercializing

Landsat And The Weather Satellites




In March 1983, the administration proposed
to transfer the National Oceanic and Atmos-
pheric Administration's satellites--a land-
observing satellite, called Landsat, and the
weather satellites--to the private sector.
This report discusses how these satellites
are used worldwide and how their commer-
cial operation might affect users.
In November 1983, the Congress enacted
legi lation to prevent the sale of the weather
sate lites; the administration is proceeding
with its efforts to commercialize Landsat. In
con, idering legislation to authorize a sale,
the ,ongress should consider whether the
sale ; terms proposed by the administration
adec uately protect the interests of Landsat
uses in the United States and abroad.
