The current global economic demand for resources and the shrinkage of the ice coverage measured recently is starting to bring international attention to the Arctic. The Arctic is considered to host vast natural resources, including oil, gas, minerals, fresh water, fish and forest resources.
The Arctic region is an area where, given the harsh environment and isolation status, space assets are among the important tools that support, and will support more, the development of the activities in the area, and in particular the sustainability and security and safety of those activities.
