SBG User Needs and Valuation Study Final Report, December 2021
This research report is the second in a series of two user needs and valuation studies conducted by RTI International on behalf of NASA for the global imaging spectroscopy Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) Designated Observable (DO) mission. The prospective SBG mission will advance future science on the global atmosphere, cryosphere, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. SBG represents a unique Earth Observation (EO) platform combining hyperspectral visible to short wave infrared (VSWIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) imaging spectroscopy capabilities for unmatched global coverage and coincident spectral resolution. Readers interested in a more detailed explanation of the original project design and integration with the SBG architecture study may reference the original SBG User Needs and Valuation Report, September 2020. RTI and the SBG Applications team began work on this second study in April 2021 and collaborated on application selection, survey development, and expert interviews through the fall of 2021, culminating with delivery of this final report. RTI again used a user-centered design framework, as piloted in the first study. After the inaugural SBG User Needs and Valuation study, the SBG Applications team engaged RTI to research an additional set of five application areas. The primary objective for this follow-on study was consistent with the prior study to identify nontraditional private and public users and to assess their key activities, needs, and perceived value of SBG. Notable differences between the studies include: The SBG platform architecture had been set by the start of this second study. As a result, the emphasis shifted from assessing users' prioritization of SBG's capability options to further detailing the extent to which SBG's capabilities and products meet users' needs. This study was designed to increase the amount of primary and survey research work to ensure a more detailed and comprehensive assessment of the second set of application areas, which were anticipated to be more involved and challenging than the original set. As in the first study, in collaboration with the SBG Applications team, we used a review and selection process to determine the most suitable application areas to study. The SBG application areas of focus for this follow-on study are Urban Heat and Health, Forest Management, Coral Reef Ecosystems, and Global Food Security.Approximately midway through the engagement, and at the direction of the SBG Applications team, a fifth application area, Conservation and Biodiversity, was added. These five application areas are rooted in the Decadal Survey science objectives and SBG Science Applications Traceability Matrix (SATM), and strategically span the full range of SBG science objectives. Consistent with the prior report, additional insights on value-added service providers (VASPs)are provided. This follow-on study also highlights insights on user-desired aspects of information quality and accessibility and notes opportunities for effective engagement with specific user groups or communities. These insights are presented in the Findings and General Survey sections.
