It is within the means of many nations to conduct or participate in
cost-effective Earth observation missions. This study provides a
definition of cost-effective Earth observation missions and
information about background material and organizational support.
It discusses cost drivers and provides advice on achieving
cost-effective missions and discusses training and education. The
conclusions and recommendations range from more general factors,
which drive the small satellite mission activities, to visions of
future cost-effective Earth observation missions. Complementary to
large complex missions, small satellite missions have specific
advantages: more frequent missions opportunities and therefore
faster return of science and application data, a larger variety of
missions and greater diversification of potential users; more rapid
expansion of the technical and/or scientific knowledge base;
greater involvement of local and small industry. This volume will
prove to be a useful source of information to governments, space
agencies, academia, and industry.
