Abstract
Remote sensing of the earth by satellites, piloted spaceships, and orbiting research stations has revealed new potential for flexible and worldwide surveying of the globe. Remote sensing means observations and measurements made with the use of space technology, facilitating the description of the conditions of formation and stratification of natural resources and distinctive features of phenomena of the environment surrounding the earth. (1) The information on land, ocean, and atmospheric targets collected by remote sensing may be of specific value to agriculture, geology, hydrology, oceanography, geography, cartography, etc.
