Abstract The images and information available from remote-sensing satellites are potentially valuable to a large market. The news media is part of this market, ready to make major use of new near real-time information offered by the latest technology, which can provide images with resolution of less than 10 metres. A media business consortium (‘Mediasat’) could be created. However, the US Land Remote Sensing Commercialization Act of 1984 places tough licensing restrictions on any US company wanting to put a camera into orbit. The author argues that these restrictions clash with the US Constitutional right of freedom of information, and the press's right to gather information.
