Abstract The growing volume and diversity of data from Earth observation satellites is causing international organizations and national government bodies with interests in Earth observation to address policy issues concerning access to and management of these data. These issues include conditions of access to data, data pricing, periods of exclusive use and archiving. The paper describes the data policies of several key organizations and shows that there are both areas of agreement and significant differences between their adopted positions. The implications for research, public service operational and commercial users are considered. In general, research users, who usually have limited resources for data acquisition, feel the greatest effects of restrictions on access to data resulting from the retention of data producers' property rights, licences to use data or prices greater than marginal costs.
