•
During the coming months Romania will
define with ESA the specific areas and
projects for cooperation, and the budget
for the next five years.
Major participation will be in ESA’s space
science programme and the ESA/EC joint
GMES (Global Monitoring for
Environment and Security) initiative.
Other areas of cooperation will include
ESA’s microgravity and exploration
programme and technology activities.
Participation in GMES will strengthen the
country’s use of Earth observation data
for agricultural planning, crop forecasting
and flood monitoring.

United Nations COPUOS - DMISCO
• Recommendation UNISPACE III +5 Action team 7
 An international space coordination body for disaster
management nominally identified as the 'Disaster Management
International Space Coordination Organization (DMISCO)'
should be established
 Such a body would have the mandate to provide the necessary
means to optimize the efficiency of services for disaster
management.
 It would ensure affordable, comprehensive and universal spacebased delivery by fully utilizing existing and planned space and
ground assets and infrastructures, and with the full participation
of organizations and mechanisms currently in place.
 The proposed organization would act as a focal point for global
space efforts in support of disaster management.

Initiative in 2002 with the aim of identifying, together with regional
stakeholders (such as governmental representatives and NGOs),
environmental issues that are a threat to stability and peace and using
environmental co-operation as a confidence-building exercise in
vulnerable regions.

Programme for Security through Science and the activities of the
Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society
 The NATO Science Committee (October 2005) agreed to provide
financial support through the Security through Science Programme for
the extension of the Environment and Security Initiative (ENVSEC) to
Eastern Europe (Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine). ENVSEC has so far
focused on Central Asia, the South Caucasus and Southeast Europe

security, economic impact of terrorist actions, risk assessment,
management of science, science policy, security-related political
science, and international relations in general)

NATO Space Science and Technology
Advisory Group (SSTAG)
• NATO uses information from space assets in most of its military
operations from situational awareness to space weather. Better
understanding and improved situational awareness has been
extended to space operations. The improvements in both ground
and space based sensing to accomplish the full operational picture
are required. Coalition forces must also understand the utility of new
sensing techniques. Small satellite techniques will allow most
nations to develop space assets and to launch ‘on demand’.
• Space Science and Technology Advisory Group (SSTAG) – created
in May 2005 within the NATO Research and Technology Agency
(RTA)
Update
