Scope Micro- or nano-satellites are becoming a general tool for the earth remote-sensing. The performance of the spectral camera or thermal infrared camera might be equivalent or even better compared to conventional larger satellites. The target pointing technique enables frequent and 3-D measurements, which are not available with most of the existing satellites. Under the international collaboration, we can share not only the obtained images but also the machine time for the on-demand operation. Here we discuss the present status and future prospect of utilization of micro-satellites and the international cooperation.
