  What are the National and International Remote Sensing programmes around the
  World?
  
   _(Should I have a brief summary and/or plain list here?_
   
   This is dealt with in detail in a US Congress (Office of Technology
   Assessment) report "Remotely Sensed Data: Technology, Management and
   Markets", Chapter 5. Whilst this *is* explicitly a US government
   document, it is generally an objective summary!
   
   The report is available online at http://otabbs.ota.gov/T90 (thanks to
   Mark_Goodman@achre.gov for drawing my attention to the OTA reports).
   
  Where can I read about government policies in Remote Sensing
  
   _USA_: See also the previous question.
   The US Congress (Office of Technology Assessment) has published some
   detailed reports, two of which are available online. In addition to
   the report referenced in the previous question above, "Civilian
   Satellite Remote Sensing: A Strategic Approach" is available at
   http://otabbs.ota.gov/T85.
   
   _Others_: AFAIK no such government documents are available elsewhere
   (but see CEOS below for worldwide policy coordination). Check the
   various space agency pages, listed under URLS.
