Analysis of the Capabilities of Satellite Systems in the Field of Ecological Monitoring of Specially Protected Natural Areas
Abstract: This article examines the environmental monitoring challenges that can be addressed by satellite sensing systems. Particular attention is paid to the monitoring of specially protected natural territories and the capabilities of modern satellite systems of Russia and the world. The article contains satellite imagery materials showing the scope of spacecraft applications in environmental issues and conclusions that allow us to assess the possibilities of exploring territories using the capabilities of satellite groupings when their observation zones are blocked. Satellite systems are an advanced technology in the field of science and can be used to solve a wide range of tasks, depending on the equipment installed on spacecraft. Environmental monitoring and protection of specially protected areas are increasingly being addressed through the use of not only satellites, but also satellite groupings, which significantly increases the effectiveness of surveillance. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities of using spacecraft to solve environmental problems and to consider the main issues solved through the use of satellite images and vegetation indices obtained in the process of studying images.
Keywords: satellite monitoring, remote sensing by satellite, ecology, environmental protection, specially protected natural areas, vegetation indices.
Pages: 23-35.
