Megan and I share the concern that neither the general public nor decision makers are fully aware of the range of information Earth Observation satellites can provide, nor is there a good understanding of the advanced technical skills needed to access and process imagery into useful map data. We recognise that there is a bottleneck in delivering useful information to the public, with a sea of data-rich satellite imagery available at one end and a huge unmet demand at the other.
