Abstract

Over the past 15 years, the convergence between space technology and information and communications technology (ICT) has seen significant maturity. Initially, this convergence was led by satellite-based communications. Over the past eight years, information processing techniques from the ICT domain have demonstrated an increasing convergence with the processing techniques used on the terabytes of data collected from the constellation of satellites orbiting and monitoring the earth's surface.
