General information and objectives
The European Space Agency and the European Commission have agreed to work towards a more efficient and cost-effective use of Earth observation data, by combining their expertise with that of their Member States plus other relevant European organisations such as EUMETSAT to establish a coordinated, decentralized Earth observation network called the European Earth Observation System, EEOS (EC, 1995).The objectives of EEOS are to:
In this collaboration, the ESA and the national space agencies will take responsibility for receiving satellite data and data preprocessing and distribution. The EC contribution to EEOS is the Centre for Earth Observation (CEO), which will foster the development of applications of Earth observation data that meet the information requirements of scientific, operational and commercial users. The CEO is presently in the design and implementation phase (1996-98).
