| Abstract: | In 1999, an international consortium of space agencies conceived and approved a mechanism to provide satellite information in support of worldwide disaster relief. This group came to be known as the ‘International Charter?Space and Major Disasters‘ and has become an important resource for the use of satellite data to evaluate and provide support for response to natural and man-made disasters. From the Charter‘s formative days in 1999, its membership has grown to 10 space organizations managing more than 20 earth-observing satellites. |
