Europe Moves Ahead With Weather Satellite Blacklist
Peter de Selding writes on Space.com:
European government officials may resent the fact that the U.S. government is forcing them to create a blacklist of organizations that will not be granted access to weather-satellite data from Europe's future polar-orbiting satellites, which will include U.S. government-supplied instruments. But they have nonetheless agreed to create such a list this year.
The list to be provided by the 18-nation Eumetsat organization will have the effect of determining what organizations may be denied data from Eumetsat's Metop satellites following a U.S. request during an emergency.
