NASA's Earth Science program's goal is to study the Earth, how it supports life, and how human activity affects that ability. The program must treat real-world benefits to society as important as new scientific knowledge, and NASA must lead an international cooperative Earth-observation research effort with NOAA and other agencies.

The goal for the Administration's Earth Science program is to pursue a program of Earth observations, research, and applications activities to better understand the Earth, how it supports life, and how human activities affect its ability to keep doing so in the future. In pursuing that goal, the program must ensure that securing practical benefits for society is an important measure of its success, alongside gaining new knowledge about the Earth system and climate change. Further pursuing that goal, the Administration must, together with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other relevant agencies, provide U.S. leadership in developing and running a cooperative international Earth-observations-based research program.
