Earth science is evolving into Earth system science,
changing from a discipline-specific premise to an
interdisciplinary endeavor. Increased awareness of human
dependence and impact upon the environment has made global
change research one of the most pressing policy issues
facing decision makers today.
This book presents an overview of past, present, and future
satellite missions and programs and their sensor
complements. An effort has been made to show to some extent
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
provision, data utilization and exploitation.
