ESA announced approval of a remote-sensing study to be carried out by member states, including Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with other member states expected to join later. Starting with defining optical and microwave instruments for monitoring land and ocean surfaces, to be used by European remote-sensing satellites planned for launch in the mid-eighties, ESA would stress developments now under way in the respective nations, such as a multimission platform being produced by Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) for the SPOT satellite and a synthetic-aperture radar proposed by West Germany for Spacelab flights in 1983.
