The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency launched a new public website Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011. The new website allows users to easily access NGA mission partner items of interest, corporate information, career and student opportunities, as well as quick links to NGA’s social media presence. 

This launch is a critical step in implementing NGA’s vision of Putting the Power of GEOINT in Your Hands. Over the next year, NGA plans to make further website enhancements to improve the user’s experience by providing a customizable interface and a GEOINT application marketplace. The goal is to provide a single access point for NGA’s unclassified geospatial information, critical to a wide spectrum of GEOINT consumers. 

“We’ve designed this website with the public and partners in mind,” said NGA Director Letitia Long. “NGA wants to make it easy for the public to understand who we are and for our mission partners to have a single location for unclassified geospatial and safety of navigation data to do their jobs every day or for use during a crisis.”
