Description:
|
This book brings together an international group of experts to analyze the diverse issues that the new, higher-resolution commercial and civilian observation satellites present. Through more than two dozen chapters and numerous satellite images, the authors assess emerging satellite imagery policy issues, survey the U. S. and many non-U. S. satellite remote sensing programs, and offer case studies on international security applications of satellite imagery. The result is a timely assessment of the challenges and opportunities commercial observation satellites present and should be of particular interest to those in government, business, academia, and nongovernmental organizations seeking to understand the broader implications of this emerging information technology.
