More than 200 experts met in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to plan the design and implementation of a new fleet of radar satellites. The group emphasized the recent geological discoveries made with data from radar satellites, especially from those satellites tracking the movements and shifts in Earth's plates that have been impossible to track until recently. The U.S. Geological Survey and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory sponsored the event. Geophysicist Howard A. Zebker described the satellites as a "great leap forward. It's like suddenly having [x]-rays to see inside a body."
