STUDY OF THE EARTH'S NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT ON THE RUSSIAN SEGMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

The priority tasks to be resolved using the remote sensing methods and instruments of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) are identified. In this work it is possible to use specialized instrumentation packages, developed as submodules delivered to specialized ISS modules. The specific nature of the research on remote sensing of the Earth and ecological monitoring (high speeds and volumes of the data transmitted from the station, relatively rigorous requirements for processing times, etc.) is governed by the high requirements of the surface system for the reception, processing, storage, and dissemination of space information.
