Objectives:
Maintain Europe at leading edge of sciences
Increase use of Earth Observation in formulation, implementation and monitoring of public policies and in the provision of public services
Foster the development of commercial services using Earth Observation
Content:
EARTH EXPLORER SATELLITES for science and technology demonstration
EARTH WATCH SATELLITES for long-term operational monitoring
SERVICES and APPLICATIONS demonstration + int’l agreements (e.g. Charter on Space and Major Disasters)
