Abstract

It has been established that with the development of society, the growth of the impact of human actions on the agro-ecological system of the Earth, and at the same time the satisfaction of its life activity, there is a need to apply new methods in the management of natural resources. Today, space photography, which is carried out through various carriers from space with the support of filming equipment, is the primary means of obtaining information. It is highlighted that information from space and photo-aerial imaging is sufficiently used in cartography, when solving problems in all areas of science and technology and the formation of geo-information systems. Every year, the volume of products related to mapping and geoinformation expands, new areas for using information from space surveys appear. The specificity of space surveying for several decades is the acquisition of data from aerial surveys with very high spatial resolution (<1 m), the growth in the spectral resolution of surveying systems and the implementation of spectral surveying. It is highlighted that by the model of remote sensing of the Earth we understand the system of receiving and converting input signals of the electromagnetic spectrum into outputs that form images or point output data about objects on the terrain. It is emphasized that in the last decades, remote sensing of the Earth is especially used to obtain informative data about the agro-ecological surface of the earth. Natural characteristics of soil types, vegetation, etc. were obtained with the help of remote sensing of the Earth. Many countries of the world use the information obtained with the help of aerospace means of remote sensing of the Earth quite widely, on its basis they successfully search for minerals, assess the rural potential of regions and countries, conduct analysis of agricultural lands, distinguish types and types of agricultural crops, implement yield forecasts, monitor the condition soils and pastures, perform its monitoring. The crisis of a soil science nature in Ukraine is caused by the functioning of the administrative-command economy in the past.
