About ARSET

ARSET is part of the NASA Earth Action Program within the Earth Sciences Division. NASA Earth Action provides support and funding to help institutions and individuals make better decisions about their environment.

Since 2009, our program has trained more than 140,000 participants from 186 countries and more than 19,000 organizations worldwide.
