European Association of Remote Sensing Companies

Mission & Goals

The European Association of Remote Sensing Companies (EARSC) is a non-profit-making organisation which is actively involved in coordinating and strengthening the Earth-observation (EO) chain and promoting the European geo-information industry. EARSC is open to corporative and observer members with deeply interest in providing services delivering information based on observations of the Earth and its environment. The members of EARSC are active on the growing market for the exploitation of EO data by converting these data in geo-information suitable and accessible for their clients. This conversion process, the customization of the products and the development and provision of services is characterized by addition of value for users/customers in the chain between data collection and exploitation of information. The development of EO technology from space and the continuous growth of a wide diversity of applications have created the basis of a new emerging service industry.
