Game Changers in Remote Sending

摘要

A truly global market has emerged for remote sensing products and services. Or has it? During my almost 20 years of research on remote sensing, colleagues have sometimes questioned my description of remote sensing in market terms. Especially in the early days, space-based remote sensing seemed very distant from a market concept, given its limited use globally, the heavy government domination of the means of production — satellites — and the control of data on the ground, largely for military and intelligence purposes.
