GMESGlobal Monitoring of Environment and
Security

• Is key element of European Space Strategy
• Navigation (Galileo)
• Earth Observation (GMES)
• Is driven by sustainable provision of
  geoinformation services, demanded by
  institutional, public and private users
• Commerical potential in the generation of value
  added geoinformation
• Based on European fleet of Earth Observation
  Satellites (ESA, Eumetsat and national), but also
  using other mission data
• GMES is the European Contribution to GEOSS
• Major Services start consolidation Fast Track
  Services in operations by 2008
• ESA Ministerial (Dec 05) approved budget (even
  more than demanded) Germany leading contributor
  to ESA GMES programme (31)
