Look back at Thomas' work with LACIE. What was the problem the program was looking to help solve? How could NASA, a space organization, help a problem on earth?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there no options attached neither further context nor references, we can comment on the following.

The problem the program was looking to help solve was trying to come up with a solution for the automation of wheat yield on a world scale using modern technology.

NASA helped to provide space technology to help to solve the problem.

Valerie Thomas was a brilliant mind in science, hired by NASA to develop a series of projects that contributed to the modernization of space programs.

Thomas helped NASA engineers to develop computers that supported the operation of satellites in real-time. This was a major advance for satellites' control centers.

It was 1n 1974 when she led approximately 50 people in project LAICE, Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment, where she used space technology to come up with a solution for the automation of wheat yield on a world scale.

its a hope it good luck
