Landsats 1AC Observation 1 - Inherency Our current Landsat capability can fail at any moment Clark 10 (Stephen, Spaceflight Now, Jan. 13, http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n1001/13landsat/ accessed 7/4/110 CJQ The nearly 26-year-old Landsat 5 remote sensing satellite has cheated death once again, but Earth scientists will have to wait three more years for a fresh spacecraft to meet all their research needs. One of Landsat 5's radio transmitters responsible for downlinking science imagery failed in December, but in a remarkable turn of fortune, another radio declared failed almost 23 years ago has been unexpectedly revived. "Lo and behold, it works," said Bruce Quirk, chief of the United States Geological Survey's land remote sensing program. Science operations could resume this week, according to Quirk. "It's like taking your car and driving into the garage, then coming back 23 years later and starting it up," Quirk said. "For it to work like this, I think it's really remarkable. I wasn't giving it a big chance of working, but Landsat 5 is kind of like the (Energizer) bunny -- it just keeps running and running." Landsat 5 was launched on March 1, 1984, on a three-year mission to continue the Landsat program's legacy of collecting Earth science data for a wide range of applications. "We have brought it from the brink of death and back to life so many times over the last seven years," said Kristi Kline, Landsat program manager at the USGS Earth Resources Science and Observation Center in Sioux Falls, S.D. "It's just amazing what our flight operations team and our engineers are able to do with that spacecraft." Landsat 5 has also recently struggled with other problems, including an August incident that sent the spacecraft tumbling out of control. The satellite's multi-spectral scanner is also not working. "It's the oldest spacecraft of its type still functioning," Kline said. "We've certainly gotten our money's worth out of it." The future of Landsat is in doubt, both 5 and 7 could fail at any time, and the Continuity Mission does not guarantee Landsat presence Wigbels et al 8 (Lyn, Senior Fellow/Assistant Professor at the Center for Aerospace Policy Research at George Mason University, a Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies Space Initiatives Program, G. Ryan Faith, adjunct fellow at CSIS, Vincent Sabathier, senior associate with the CSIS Technology and Public Policy Program, CSIS, July, http://csis.org/files/media/csis/pubs/080725_wigbels_earthobservation_web.pdf, accessed 7-6-11, JMB) In the United States, Landsat satellites have never been considered a fully operational capability, and no single US. government agency has had the responsibility for meeting US needs for operational moderate-resolution ground imaging. Over the years, many attempts were made to commercialize the provision of moderate-resolution ground imaging data, but a viable commercial option never emerged. Consequently, the United States has been unable to adequately address the expected gap in U.S. moderate-resolution land imaging data. Technical problems with the current Landsat 5 and 7 satellites are expected to result in their unavailability prior to the 2011 launch of the LDCM. In addition, there currently is no successor mission to LDCM nor a replacement satellite should LDCM fail at launch or early in its operational life. The new National Land Imaging Program provides a focal point in the US government for understanding land imaging requirements and planning and budgeting for missions to meet these requirements. USGS has begun working within the Department of the Interior to begin to migrate the current Land Remote Sensing Program into the National Land Imaging Program. However, the Interior Department did not receive additional funding last year to implement these new responsibilities, and only $2 million was requested for this by the administration for FY 2009. USGS is currently coordinating and promoting the uses of land imaging data within the Department of the Interior. The USGS has inherited control of Landsat without the necessary funds to support the mission Simpson 3/17 (Mike, Interior Subcommittee chairman, 2011, http://appropriations.house.gov/_files/031711InteriorUSGeologicalSurveySimpson.pdf, accessed 7-5-11, JMB) Third, by inheriting the full funding responsibility for LandSat 9 and 10 from NASA without any of NASA's $19 billion budget, and by offsetting the $48 million increase for LandSat from other core science programs, this budget is a sign of the untenable situation we're likely to be in two years from now when the Administration sends up a budget request for LandSat that is nearly 10 times the increase proposed for FY12. We might just as well rename USGS to National Land Imaging Agency.
