CEOS (Committee on Earth Observation Satellites)

CEOS (the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites) is made up of 60 Agencies from all around the world committed to coordinating their Earth observation satellite programs and to share their satellite data for a more sustainable and prosperous future.

These satellite observations are critical for environmental monitoring, meteorology, disaster response, agriculture and many other applications that can improve life on Earth and save lives.

CEOS organizations currently operate more than 170 satellites. These satellites and their related systems operate simultaneously and serve both interdisciplinary and international activities; therefore, international dialogue and cooperation are critical to their success.

CEOS exists to ensure the international coordination of Earth observation satellite programs and to promote the exchange of data as well as to make satellite data available for the benefit of the world.

This will be accomplished by:

  • Exchanging technical information
  • Increasing data usefulness and cost effectiveness
  • Presenting plans for emerging technologies and programs
  • Addressing current developments and future opportunities
  • Raising awareness and having discussions with user communities

Belgium is an associated member of CEOS.
