Collective trusteeship for near space: the case for UNNESA

Article Abstract:

A UN agency called UN Near Earth Space Administration should be created to assist the organization in achieving its goal of collective trusteeship over outer space. The agency will be under the Trusteeship Council and Economic and Social Council of the UN. By functioning through space agencies, such as NASA, it can monitor the development of such commercial ventures as Solar Power Satellites. Moreover, it will also formulate proposals for the General Assembly's implementation of regulations on space development and issue licenses for commercial projects.

Remote sensing in the information age

Article Abstract:

Remote sensing technology has evolved as a result as the rapid advances during the information age. Remote sensing technology has ceased to be a mere instrument or tool to gather information. It has become a major factor in major strategic, political, economic, social and cultural developments. However, there are key issues that should be addressed such as the possible radio frequency interference between remote sensing satellites and communication satellite services, and the knowledge gap between the suppliers of raw remote sensing data and its users.
