Cooperative Research Program (CoRP)
The Cooperative Research Program (CoRP) of NESDIS' Center for Satellite Applications
and Research (STAR) manages a coast-to-coast research
coalition of the federal government and universities.
CoRP's branches, Institutes and its Center work together on remote
sensing of the environment in these focus areas:
- Conduct investigations of the Earth with satellite observations
- Design observing systems for satellites
- Develop algorithms, products and applications for satellite data
- Simulate new observations from satellites
- Calibrate the data from new instruments, and calibrate one satellite with another
- Design new processing systems (such as data compression)
- Verify the accuracy of satellite data and data from the field
