About this book

This will be the first book that deals with the use of commercial satellite imagery to monitor non-proliferation of nuclear weapons non-intrusively from space by an international organisation. The book deals with both the technical as well as policy issues related to the nuclear weapons non-proliferation issues. The authors discuss how an international organisation such as the International Atomic Energy Agency can use information derived from satellites to enhance its policing task.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"It concentrates on the role of commercial satellite imagery in monitoring nuclear weapons nonproliferation, particularly in the context of the IAEA safeguards system used to verify the NPT. … This is a timely and important work. It offers very thorough coverage of the subject, successfully links technological and policy issues and provides a wealth of relevant data and many useful recommendations." (John Russell, Trust & Verify, Issue 108, May-June, 2003)
