Abstract :
In this vision of the future a globally responsive web of space-based sensors, processing networks, and distribution systems will create and deliver information products to users throughout the world. Great leaps forward in the ability to predict earth systems behavior and response will be-its hallmark. Revolutionary advancements are required in many scientific and technical areas. The payoffs of such a system on a global scale can; be significant both economically and societal. However, the continuation and eventual realization will require participation on a grand scale-national, multi-agency; international, and commercial partnering
