NESDIS' Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) manages the coast-to-coast research coalition of the federal government and universities known as the Cooperative Research Program. CoRP's branches, Institutes and its Center (CREST) work together on remote sensing of the environment in these focus areas:
- Conduct investigations of the Earth with satellite observations
- Design observing systems for satellites
- Develop algorithms, products and applications for satellite data
- Simulate new observations from satellites
- Calibrate the data from new instruments, and calibrate one satellite with another
- Design new processing systems (such as data compression)
- Verify the accuracy of satellite data and data from the field
