The International Charter on Space and Major Disasters is an international non-profit agreement that provides for the free acquisition and use of remote sensing satellite imagery by its members in the event of major disasters. The Charter was founded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French agency CNES after the UNISPACE III conference (Vienna, Austria, July 1999). It was officially launched on November 1, 2000.
