SOME WAYS OF IMPROVING OF BELARUSIAN SPACE SYSTEM OF EARTH REMOTE SENSING

Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of improving the characteristics of the Belarusian space system of Earth remote sensing resulting from the implementation of multilevel information-integrated structure. The statement of this problem is related to the limitations that are typical for the shooting of the Earth’s surface from space, caused by both natural (insufficient viewability), and technical (inadequate recording equipment) factors. The proposed configuration of the multi-level information complex includes, besides the traditional space and ground segments, also an aviation segment and another supplementary ground measuring segment. And the aviation segment can contain both manned and unmanned aerial vehicles of different kinds, equipped with the necessary target equipment, and the supplementary ground segment – the system of accurate positioning. The main technical characteristics of the target devices that can be used to implement the complex are considered. As an example, the forecast of information capabilities of the complex for the solution of geodetic problems was considered: integration of such heterogeneous information resources at the stages of issue of the flight missions and complex data processing can significantly increase the likelihood of obtaining the necessary information for consumers.
