Satellite remote sensing is useful for global monitoring. Now the smaller optical instruments have even better performance than conventional larger satellites, especially for high-resolution spectral imaging. We have been promoting an international organization “Asian Micro-satellite Consortium (AMC)” with a concept of “sharing”, namely, the sharing of satellite technology, data, and applications. If the target pointing is possible, we can take images for any location once or twice a day only with one very small satellite. Therefore, on-demand image acquisition with several tens of micro-satellite under the international agreement provides continuous monitoring. We have been developing the request system for disaster and environmental monitoring. They can get frequent imaging opportunity at very low cost. This world first system will provide revolutionary changes in the disaster and environmental management. In the near future, this system could be operated under international companies and provide service like "Uber" or "Grab" in the taxi business.
