The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) is an international organization formed in 1984 to coordinate Earth observation missions from space. CEOS acts as a forum for space agencies and international bodies to exchange information, establish common data standards, and promote the interoperability of Earth observation systems. It works with organizations like the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to ensure that satellite data effectively addresses global challenges, such as climate change and disaster management. Key activities include mission planning, data product development, and the establishment of agreements on data policies.
