RSCC
Mission Statement: The goal of the Remote Sensing Core Curriculum (RSCC) has been to provide the resources to support a state-of-the-practice educational experience for use at national and international academic institutions. The RSCC program was developed to meet the needs for a national-level core curriculum as defined by The American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) members in cooperation with the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA), National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) and Earth Observation Satellite Company (EOSAT). This curriculum currently represents a collection of the highest quality resource materials available in this dynamic technological field for use at collegiate levels. RSCC was initiated under a NASA grant to a consortium of experts from academe and industry.
