Abstract
As previously mentioned, Earth observation technology enables us to more profoundly understand changes in Earth’s physical, chemical, and biological systems. In the context where all countries are faced with threatening problems such as environmental pollution, energy shortages, and natural disasters, global-scale, Earth observation systems (EOS) have unparalleled advantages in addressing global issues compared to conventional methods.
