The Copernicus Programme of the European Union is poised for growth. Spearheading the earth observation industry of Europe, Copernicus contributes heavily to the economic excellence of the Space industry.
Recognized as a leader of development, the earth observation industry is creating both social and economic impact at the global stage. The commercial earth observation industry is generating high-resolution and multi-spectral data that is unprecedented in both magnitude and scope. Since the launch of the first civil imagery satellite system, LANDSAT, countries globally have understood the need for satellite systems to support policy objectives for sustainable development, national security and climate change. In this regard, the Copernicus Programme, fondly known as ‘Europe’s eye on Earth’, is an Earth Observation Programme formed in collaboration by the European Union (EU), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the member states. Also, known as Europe’s leading and world’s largest civil earth observation program; the satellites and insitu sensors, are focussed on monitoring the Earth and its diverse ecosystem to generate economic, social, environmental and strategic benefits globally.
