Abstract: Remote sensing from space has a long standing tradition in earth observation and environmental monitoring. However, the use of commercial satellite imagery for monitoring arms control is a new field. This study deals with the application of commercial satellite imagery for international safeguards by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The report summarises research activities which started in 1994 and have been carried out in cooperation between King's College London, the University of London, the Research Centre Jülich, Program Group Technology Assessment and the Oepartment of Geography of the University of Bonn. Part of the work has been performed under the British and German support programmes for the IAEA and have been funded by the British Oepartment of Trade and Industry UK (OTI) and the German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF).
