This survey continues the practice, begin in the late 1990s, of surveying the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) membership to understand the trends and directions of the industry.
The answers and information you provide will help the ASPRS understand these trends and better serve its membership and the community. This information will be shared with the membership and community through the PE&RS magazine, the ASPRS Higher Logic online community, and via presentations at the ASPRS Spring 2023 Conference.
This survey should take 20 minutes or less of your time. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance to the ASPRS!

Background: In August of 1999, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) agreed to undertake a comprehensive study of the remote sensing and geospatial information industry in the United States. Their ultimate goal was to develop a continuing forecast of the remote sensing industry. In 2002, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) formally joined NASA and ASPRS to support the documentation and analysis of the forecast and to provide further information to the private sector and government agencies. The U.S. remote sensing and geospatial information industry include those commercial firms, not-for-profit organizations, governmental agencies, and academic institutions involved in the capture, production, distribution, and application of remotely sensed geospatial data and information, primarily for the civilian sector, is a maturing segment of the much larger information industry. New technological advancements facilitate the application of remote sensing to a wide range of disciplines, from the sciences to myriad practical applications. Prior to this study, comprehensive data and unbiased assessments of the industry did not exist in an openly available form. This study is an attempt to remedy these limitations.
