Earth Science Satellite Applications Current and Future Prospects
The combined observational power of the multiple earth observing satellites is currently not being harnessed holistically to produce more durable societal benefits. We are not able to take complete advantage of the prolific amount of scientific output and

Preface
We present here the book titled ‘Earth Science Satellite Applications: Current and Future Prospects.’ When talking about prospects of satellite applications, it is important to talk about capacity, or capacity building for handling satellite (or Earth Observation) systems. Capacity building using Earth Observing (EO) systems and data (i.e., from orbital and non-orbital platforms) to enable societal applications may be defined as the network of soft and hard components comprising human, non-human, technical, non-technical, hardware, and software dimensions necessary to successfully cross the gap between science and research and societal application taken from “Hossain et al. (2016)”.
In today’s world, it has become quite clear that the capacity building community of scientists and stakeholders need to be better prepared to take advantage of the rapidly emerging, abundant scientific output and remote sensing data from satellite missions by converting them into decision-making products for end users. An organization is said to have resilient capacity when it can retain and continue to build capacity in the face of unexpected shocks or stresses. Sho
