CEOI

The CEOI will be holding a Challenge workshop to explore the potential of a range of future platforms for Earth observation on February 28th 2013 at the University of Leicester. The CEOI wishes to work with the community to identify future platform needs and utility. The workshop will consider EO and remote sensing from balloons, high altitude platforms, airborne demonstrators, sounding rockets, techdemo-SAT/CAT-SAT type platforms and the international space station. Active participation from the community will be encouraged in order to provide future direction.
