Earth observation satellites have been instrumental in the process of developing and enforcing arms control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union since the 1960s. Commonly referred to as the National Technical Means(NTM) of verification, these highly classified systems have provided the information necessary for negotiating agreements on strategic weapons and troop deployments, and for providing subsequent evidence of the parties' compliance with or breath of the terms of those agreements. A similar function for Earth observation satellites, but on an unclassified and multilateral basis, can be applied to the development and enforcement of regional and global environmental protection agreements. Satellite data have already played a role in the formation of an international consensus for protecting the Earth's ozone layer. The sensor and related data processing technologies, however, are now sufficiently mature and internationally accessible to warrent the expension of their use in the development inforcement of other broad areas of formal environmental protection. Large-scale problems that can be addressed in this way include deforestation, preservation of the polar regions, ocean pollution, and climate change.
