Learn how NASA Lifelines is strengthening humanitarian efforts by bridging the gap between Earth scientists and humanitarians. This program creates collaboration across disciplines, connecting experts worldwide to unlock the potential of satellite data.

The Data Studios are a different way of organizing geospatial and remote sensing resources. Instead of starting with a dataset and asking people to figure out what to do with it, we start with the real-world questions and work backwards from the use case.

The NASA Lifelines Humanitarian Wayfinder Learning Agenda focuses on leveraging geospatial data and interdisciplinary research to address humanitarian challenges. The document, created in collaboration with four humanitarian organizations, outlines critical knowledge gaps and research needs. It emphasizes the importance of actionable science and effective communication of research findings to support humanitarian operations.

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.

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.

This guide helps humanitarian decision-makers assess whether and how to use satellite data in their work. It offers a structured framework and real-world case studies to support informed, ethical, and impactful decisions.
