Abstract
The paper summarises the currently available satellite remote sensing systems, including SPOT, Landsat TM and MSS, MOS‐1, IRS‐1A and NOAA type systems. The resolution and scale of output product of these systems are examined in more detail and recommendations made as to the appropriate level of land information that can be usefully acquired. Problems particularly associated with developing countries are addressed, and particular attention is given to the role of technology transfer in solving these problems at the educational, institutional and financial levels.
