ESA's Earth from Space web-TV programme has issued a special edition on the International Charter "Space and Major Disasters". Jens Danzeglocke of DLR talks about what the International Charter is, who has access to this international mechanism, and which disaster situations are covered by it. He also elaborates on the Charter's newest intiative: the Universal Access approach. DLR, the German Aerospace Center, currently holds the International Charter's secretary.
