Olla (Madonna U.) brings together 17 contributions from an
international group of scientists, educators, lawyers, and policy
analysts that reflect on the use of space technology for managing

addressed include the use of space technology for natural resource
management and disaster monitoring and mitigation, convergence of
satellite communication and data networks, development of
nanosatellites, construction of European space policy, application of
satellite earth observation for improving the implementation of
multilateral environmental agreements, socioeconomic and political
issues relevant to extraterrestrial regimes and space macro-projects,
commercialization of space technology, the ethics of commercial space
technology, space tourism, and the future of the space elevator
concept.
