We are living in an era not only dominated but often driven by new
and emerging technologies. Today, there is indeed no aspect of
human life that is untouched by technologies in some form or
another. Space technology is a classic example of an emerging
capability that has a multitude of applications in both civilian
and military segments. In the area of global navigational systems,
satellites perform multitudes of tasks while orbiting both near and
far orbits round the Earth. While remote sensing satellites are
used to map the Earth's surface, communication satellites enable
the successful operation of extensive global communications of
various types. As the new capabilities bring in new opportunities,
they also bring in their wake new challenges, particularly when the
applications involve both commercial opportunities and security
concerns. The conference at King's College London, which was
attended by a group of experts, not only in remote sensing and
communications satellite technologies but also in legal and ethical
matters related to these capabilities, has been timely. It is hoped
that this volume will give an informed basis to continue the debate
on the opportunities and challenges relating to the
commercialisation of space.
