The Earth Observation Handbook 1995 Edition

The CEOS Earth Observation Handbook presents the main capabilities of satellite Earth observations, their applications and a systematic overview of present and planned CEOS agency Earth observation satellite missions and their instruments.

The 1995 edition of the CEOS Earth Observation Handbook, prepared by the European Space Agency, details the status and plans for future EO satellite missions. It describes how the data and information which they supply relate to worldwide needs for information on Earth System processes — in support of a range of significant objectives of national and international concern.
