https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-476-04225-5There are five aspects to be examined: (1) to note what is happening on board the satellites; (2) production of photographic records; (3) preparation of the digitized magnetic tape; (4) preparation of digitized maps; and (5) cartographic problems.

The Invisible Part of the Electromagnetic SpectrumThe ultraviolet was recognized in 1801 by J. W. Ritter, who observed the chemical activity of this shortwave radiation. In the previous year, Sir Frederich William Herschel, breaking down light with a prism, noticed that next to the red was a zone where the thermometer showed up hitherto unsuspected energy.

Emitted Radiation and Reflected Radiation: Concrete AspectsWe have already looked at the central topics in regard to centi-millimetric waves; we now need only clarify some ideas on the near and middle infrared, which is now being exploited intensively.

Types of SatellitesMost satellites are either meteorological or military. The latter do not concern us at all, while the former offer us the opportunity to work on the data gathered. True, this opportunity is marginal, but it allows us to prepare for the future.

Instrumentation Onboard the SatellitesThe scientific payload to be placed on board satellites (or aircraft) depends on two types of considerations: (1) the target in view and (2) the technical means available.

Satellites Destined for Earth SciencesAs we know, the earth sciences are the ‘last-minute guests,’ as satellites launched up to 1970 were essentially for meteorological purposes. The capability offered by high-resolution radiometers, however, made it possible for our discipline to participate in fundamental research.
