Abstract

The issue of remote sensing systems and their use for military purposes in the last period paid more attention. Since the war in the Persian Gulf, to local wars and armed confl icts of the early twenty-fi rst century, including the antiterrorist operations in the eastern regions of Ukraine remote sensing space systems play an increasingly important role in the conduct of armed struggle. The value of timely information from remote sensing space systems and
volumes of its use is growing every year. Classic types of intelligence are too high losses, low accuracy of the coordinates, the range of small, low frequency of inspection and effi ciency would bring to the consumer. The use of space systems intelligence, exclusively
military is economically reasonable for most countries, including the Ukraine. Aim of this article is to highlight condition and trends of space systems remote sensing world leading countries in this sphere.
Therefore, the currently use of space for solving problems the information provide consumers with the use of space systems (CS) remote sensing in different spheres of life is an environment for competition. Thus, the spacecraft (SC) of the said remote sensing systems are equipped with modern optical and radar equipment and are able to solve problems that previously relied exclusively on the species system space exploration.
