Some aspects of establishing and developing remote sensing of the Earth’s surface from space

Remote sensing of our planet from space currently provides data for both Earth sciences (geography, geology, volcanology, geoinformatics, cartography, climatology, meteorology, oceanology, seismology, etc.) and applied problems in many areas human activity. Already the early years age saw emergence two spacecraft use that were great interest to military circles: observation communications. It was photographic exploration predetermined beginning interaction between astronautics sciences. In addition obvious need importance using methods, cartography focused on meteorological tasks. This area instrumentation played a decisive role subsequent Earth's surface civil purposes creation special scientific technical productions.
