Agenda Items of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 Relevant to Remote Sensing

The important task of deciding and revising frequency allocations at international level falls under the responsibility of the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) which is organized by a specialized agency of the United Nations, the Radiocommunications Sector of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R). A WRC is held every approximately four years for the purpose of updating the international Radio Regulations (RR). The most recent of these conferences, WRC-19, held at the end of 2019, also defined the Agenda Items for the next WRC that is scheduled to occur in 2023. Here, we review and discuss the WRC-23 Agenda Items that are likely to have the most impact on future remote sensing operations.
