EARTH RESOURCES SATELLITES.
Abstract
Operational and technical aspects of earth resources satellite projects are discussed. Two basic surveying methods are possible: by remote sensing satellites and by measurement-collecting satellites. Attention is concentrated on problems of orbital sensing of electromagnetic earth radiance in the visual, infra-red and micro-wave regions. The principles of polychromatic measurement of earth surface 'radiation signatures' and their analysis as well as some matters connected with the data handling of the sensed information are discussed. A list of organisations engaged in relevant branches of science and technology together with bibliographic references are appended. (Author)
