Integrating European security through space
Article Abstract:
After decades of reconciling European security needs with the US defense architecture, the need for having a European defense architecture is emerging. A satellite center has been established by the Western European Union (WEU) in Spain that can form the basis for a multinational military space agency. The need, method, and implications of developing a multinational European Union satellite observation system is discussed. Upgrading the capabilities of the WEU may make the nations outside the Union feel apprehensive rather than secure since it will be awhile before they are included in the security net.

Earth weather and climate control: can space technology contribute?
Article Abstract:
Several studies on the potential of space technology for the modification of weather and climate phenomena were reviewed to provide a basis for an assessment of geoengineering efforts with respect to technological, economic and fundamental scientific aspects. Data supported the use of space technology for provision of better information on environmental change and integration of remote sensing data into weather and climate models forecasts.
