interdisciplinary endeavor. Increased awareness of human
dependence and impact upon the environment has made global

facing decision makers today.

the scale and nature of existingnational and international
activities and operations in this context. Text and
illustrations are intended as a guide and roadmap to
everyone interested in the wide field of Earth observation.
In particular, the book may serve as a reference, or give
reasonable inputs, on the following subjects: Programmatic
planning on all levels, planning for the required
infrastructure, exisiting and planned operational service
