Sir Martin Keynote speaker at CRSSS

In the news

Some 200 International business and government leaders gathered this week in Washington DC at the Commercial Remote Sensing Satellite Symposium hosted by NOAA and USGS to explore the current issues facing this important business sector.

The symposium included keynote speeches and interactive panel discussions on a range of topics pertaining to the commercial remote sensing global market. Sir Martin Sweeting headed up the second day and addressed the “Challenges of the International Environment”.

Sir Martin focused his attention on  the role of small satellites in changing the economics of space and particularly their impact on Earth observation and remote sensing. He used high resolution (2.5m & 4m) images from the latest satellites built by SSTL for the UK and China (TOPSAT & BEIJING-1) to illustrate the dramatic increase in capabilities now offered by EO satellites - all within with a mass of about 150kg and costing around £10M.
