Sentinel space project

Great idea, but slightly worrying .....

"But the EU hopes the data will prove to be a powerful tool also to help design and enforce community-wide polices, covering diverse areas such as fish stocks management, air quality regulation, and keeping track of waste disposal practices."

The site does say ...


All of the data acquired by the Sentinels will be open and free - anyone, anywhere in the world, will be able to make use of the information.

Thanks for letting us know Sirius :)
