Gold Rush: The 2024 Commercial Remote Sensing Global Rankings
Available Downloads
Four leading institutions—the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Taylor Geospatial Institute, Taylor Geospatial Engine, and the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation—collaborated to produce a “Top 3” ranking of the world’s best commercial space-based remote sensing systems.
The results should spur policy conversations about the importance of U.S. leadership, the state of global competition (especially vis-à-vis Chinese offerings), and how to keep the U.S. private sector at the leading edge of innovation and atop the global marketplace.
This report was made possible by the support of Taylor Geospatial Institute, Taylor Geospatial Engine, and the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation.
