observations, there will be a need to determine whether it could provide 

 some meaningful information about the oceans. The third satellite (ERTS C) 

 will be used for ocean survey. Serious consideration will be given to the 

 selection of remote sensors. This will involve discussion with interested 

 people and potential users of the data. 



NASA rel ies on the Spacecraft Oceanography Project (SPOC) in 

 NAVOCEANO for the daily technical administration and monitoring of the NASA 

 funded research programs at universities, private organizations, and other 

 government agencies and for coordinating the work of scientists, participating 

 in the NASA aircraft missions supporting the checkout of remote sensors 

 during overwater flights and, where possible, the acquisition of ground 

 truth information.
