Presents a revolutionary and advanced satellite imaging concept that could, hopefully, dramatically impact the development of satellite technology in the next 20 to 40 years. The proposed "intelligent" satellite system is a space-based architecture for the dynamic and comprehensive on-board integration of Earth observing sensors, data processors and communication systems to enable simultaneous, global measurement and timely analysis of the Earth\´s environment for real-time, mobile and common users. The proposed architectures form a seamless integration of diverse components into a smart, adaptable, and robust Earth observation satellite system.
