The satellite-based earth observation market in Europe

For those are unfamiliar, the EU spends billions of dollars on earth observation programs. ESA organizes the data delivery for 30 satellites and above. The European Commission (EC) acts on behalf of the EU, which is responsible for the overall initiative for the requirements and management of the services. ESA creates a family of satellites called Sentinels, particularly for the operational needs of the Copernicus program. Many Sentinel satellites are expected to be launched under this program.

For many analysts, the satellite-based earth observation market in Europe will grow steadily during the forecast period.
