Satellite earth observation and remote sensing

The use of satellites for earth observation and remote sensing purposes is one of the sectors of space activities raising increasingly complicated questions. How do intellectual property rights interfere with, or on the contrary sustain, such activities? What are the prospects for commercialisation in this area? What benefits can such projects as Global Monitoring for the Environment and Security (GMES), or the Charter on Space and Major Disasters bring to mankind? What national controls are applicable to generating, distributing and marketing any data involved? Finding the appropriate answers to these and other questions in advance can make (or break) many specific earth observation or remote sensing applications.

 In this area, Black Holes has considerable expertise based on various projects and studies dealing with earth observation and remote sensing for a wide range of purposes, which expertise can be put at your disposal.
