Background

The Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center was established in 1971 to receive, process, and distribute data from Landsat satellites, as well as aerial photographs and other data gathered for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and other agencies. EROS is located 16 miles northeast of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Today at EROS, 119 Government employees comprise 21 percent of the Center’s workforce. The remaining 79% are contractors. A combined Government and contractor work environment have proven to be successful for over 40+ years at EROS. This partnership combines government and industry strengths and ensures workforce flexibility. The Government employees oversee the work of the Center, while individual contractors have defined areas of responsibility.

Requirements

  • Maintaining a highly technical and specialized workforce with the appropriate mix of skills, experience, and constant training of personnel is essential to accomplish the mission of EROS and the USGS
  • This is extremely critical in order to meet future Landsat projects requirements and schedule. Future Landsat projects ground systems will form the core capability of a multi-mission operation that will ingest, archive, process, calibrate, and distribute remote sensing data from civil, international and commercial satellites
