Earth observation technology is providing the means for humanity to envision and study the Earth as a single ecological system. This technology has also been used by states to project power and to secure access to strategic resources. A private-sector has now emerged in the United States and Canada that seeks to establish a global marketplace for satellite remote sensing imagery. The history, official policies and marketing strategies that define the activities of this industry indicate that discourses on sovereignty and security are important determinants to the trajectory that a commercial space industry will follow. This research suggests that an innovative and holistic regulatory framework is needed to balance private and public interests in space-based Earth observation and to ensure that the potential for this technology to inform on global ecological processes is realized for the common good.
