Key Messages
• Satellite-enabled information services provide valuable
opportunities to developing countries, but…
– Many challenges threaten their effectiveness.
• Many developing countries pursue international
partnerships as part of their process of building local
technological capability, but…
– Such partnerships are also opportunities fraught with
challenges.
• Both of these areas are ripe for multi-disciplinary research.
Satellite-Enabled Information
Services:
Opportunities and Challenges for Developing Countries
• Satellite Remote Sensing
• Communication
• Navigation
Danielle Wood Page 14
Satellite Services Impact Every Country
• Satellite services are ubiquitous, especially remote
sensing, communication and navigation
• Countries can widely access space services without
owning domestic satellites
– Australia
– Kenya
• Many developing countries have established processes to
access satellite services through government and
commercial activity
