Conclusions
• Space systems may provide general -purpose
(urban and land mapping, telecommunications) or
special support (ground deformation monitoring)
• Earthquake prediction remains largely beyond
our capabilities but several attempts on-going
• Direct damage assessment may remain difficult
even with planned systems; indirect assessment
possible.
• Wide strategic capabilities, little tactical use
• Large room for research activities
