The NASA Lifelines Ready for Impact Challenge requires lead organizations to be legally registered entities with a minimum annual operating budget of USD $500,000, and partnerships can include up to three organizations.

From orbit, NASA satellites witness Earth’s full daily rhythm—from sunrise to midnight storms to polar night. These instruments capture air quality, vegetation, rainfall, soil moisture, and glacial change in real time, offering a global perspective that helps us respond to crises, monitor environmental shifts, and protect the systems we depend on.

Lifelines fellow Caroline Crystal reflects on her summer with IOM’s Climate Mobility Innovation Lab in Bangkok. She shares what she learned about what Earth observation data can miss, how local partnerships shape the work, and who gets to participate.

This guide provides an overview of the Earth observation (EO) methodologies that play a crucial role in humanitarian efforts by providing data and analytical tools to monitor climate, environmental changes, and disaster impacts.

The 2024 Ready for Impact Pitch Guide is designed to help organizations scale Earth science innovations by providing a platform to pitch at SatSummit 2024. Participants refine their scaling strategies, gain expert insights, and connect with funders. The guide emphasizes crafting a compelling narrative that links satellite data to humanitarian crises.

The NASA Lifelines Supper Clubs How-To Guide provides a detailed framework for hosting small gatherings aimed at fostering discussions on humanitarian and Earth science themes.
