Satellite-based Earth Observation Entering Expansion Phase
[+]
The EOPortal host an article on the coming expansion phase of satellite-based earth observation. The article's introduction: "Nearly 200 new satellites expected to be launched through 2017, almost double the number launched over the previous ten years. Growth will be fuelled primarily by the promising private sector and dynamic emerging space programs. “The satellite-based Earth observation sector is in a period of transformation.” remarked Adam Keith, Senior Analyst at Euroconsult, “Previously, established government programs were the dominant actors in the industry. Now we see many new projects coming from the private sector and emerging government space programs. This diversification of the industry is creating growth and opportunity, but also challenges market players” he continued. “As new actors and business models emerge we are also seeing a re-shaping of the value chain,” he concluded."
