CEOS - Background
• Established in 1984
• Recommendation From a Panel of Experts on R/S
- Auspices of Economic Summit of Industrialized Nations

Working Group on Growth, Technology, & Employment
- Need to Coordinate Civil EO Satellite Missions

Recognized Cross-Disciplinary Influence
• CEOS Objectives
- Optimize the benefits of spaceborne Earth observations through
cooperation…
…in mission planning and development of compatible data products,
formats, services, applications & policies;
- To serve as a focal point for international coordination…
…of space-related Earth observation activities;
- To exchange policy and technical information
…to encourage complementarity and compatibility among spaceborne
Earth observation systems and the data received from them.
CEOS Membership
• Members:
Governmental organizations that are international or national in
nature and are responsible for a civil spaceborne Earth observations
program currently operating, or at least in Phase B or equivalent of
system development.
• Associates:
(1) Governmental organizations that are international or national in
nature and currently have a civil space-segment activity in Phase
A/pre-Phase A or equivalent of system development, or a significant
ground-segment activity that supports CEOS objectives.
(2) Other existing satellite coordination groups and scientific or
governmental bodies that are international in nature and currently
have a significant programmatic activity that supports CEOS
objectives.
