Institutional Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) Program
The Institutional GIS Program at NASA provides timely and authoritative geospatial data and services, enhancing situational awareness and decision-making processes for OSI and Agency stakeholders. OSI strategically employs geospatial tools and data to ensure the availability of appropriate infrastructure for NASA’s mission needs, manage real property assets, and optimize infrastructure planning, procurement, construction, and deployment. Infrastructure spatial data is utilized to identify, characterize, and organize NASA’s real property, facilitate logistics for personnel movements, and support emergency response, future facility expansions, and support safety and security missions at NASA facilities. Environmental spatial data is used to support National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) projects through management of cultural resources such as historic buildings, districts, survey areas and archaeological sites, and management of assets tied to Agency environmental compliance efforts.
The Institutional GIS Program is actively developing a modern, agile, centralized, and shared enterprise GIS, fostering innovation, and advancing OSI’s mission objectives of affordability, sustainability, and readiness of programs and people.
