Abstract
The following listing represents a survey and short descriptions of ‘Earth Observing Missions’ in alphabetical order. The listing in Part A considers completed, operational as well as planned missions on an international scale (Earth observations from space know no national boundaries). A look into past activities is important for reasons of heritage, context and perspective. The document is intended for all who want to keep track of missions and sensors in the fast-growing field of Earth observation. There cannot be any claim to completeness, although a considerable effort was made to collect and integrate all known missions and sensors into this book.
