Technological Advances in Satellite Imagery on the Satellite-based Earth Observation Market in Europe

on


Countries across the world, defense, science, and R&D domains, beyond a set of economical constraints are steadily investing in space applications and technologies.  


Technological advances in satellite imagery for example offer valuable data and information, which are used by government organizations for sectors such as defense, oil and natural gas, mining, meteorology, and agriculture. 

The innovative image-enhancing equipment, including high-resolution cameras, and advanced remote-sensing technology have enhanced the quality of satellite-based EO images used extensively in the defense, science, and R&D domains.

According to Technavio ICT analysts, the following four factors are contributing to the growth of the satellite-based Earth observation market in Europe:
  • Technological advances in satellite imagery
  • Increased government spending on space programs
  • Strong coordination of public sector EO initiatives
  • Association between ESA and other major EO organizations.
