SUBCHAPTER II—LANDSAT § 60111. Landsat Program Management (a) ESTABLISHMENT.—The Administrator and the Secretary of Defense shall be responsible for management of the Landsat pro- gram.

The management plan shall— (1) specify that the fundamental goal of the Landsat Program Management is the continuity of unenhanced Landsat data through the acquisition and operation of a Landsat 7 satellite as quickly as practicable which is, at a minimum, functionally equivalent to the Landsat 6 satellite, with the addition of a tracking and data relay satellite communications capability; (2) include a baseline funding profile that— (A) is mutually acceptable to the Administration and the Department of Defense for the period covering the development and operation of Landsat 7; and (B) provides for total funding responsibility of the Administration and the Department of Defense, respec- tively, to be approximately equal to the funding responsi- bility of the other as spread across the development and operational life of Landsat 7; (3) specify that any improvements over the Landsat 6 func- tional equivalent capability for Landsat 7 will be funded by a specific sponsoring agency or agencies, in a manner agreed to by the Landsat Program Management, if the required funding exceeds the baseline funding profile required by para- graph (2), and that additional improvements will be sought only if the improvements will not jeopardize data continuity; and
