Africa seen from the sky

Remote sensing has applications that could be useful for development and yet this latest technology seems to be beyond the reach of developing countries. A documentary film Africa seen from the sky looks at the opportunities and the constraints, and considers how developing countries can gain access to the latest technology for observing the Earth.

Produced by Masicence with support from CTA, the film complements the book Remote sensing of the Sahelian environment which was published in 1990 by CTA and CCH. Africa seen from the sky - scientific documentary by Olivier Retour and Henri de Latour, 26 minutes duration, Mascience international - avenue Pres Agneaux 83, 1160 Brussels, BELGIUM
