Welcome
From space-borne instruments and components to data systems and modeling, the NASA Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) funds and develops a broad range of technologies for
the scientific observation and measurement of Earth. ESTO technologies are also used for NASA operations as well as practical applications that benefit society at large.

Toward New Measurements
ESTO investments are enabling many new Earth science measurements, including those outlined in the National Research Council's Decadal Survey
for Earth Science.
