The Russian Resurs-F spacecraft, developed for Earth surface photography, with high resolution and accuracy in different spectral bands, for ecological and Earth resources study, are described. The Resurs-F spacecraft provides different scale multizonal and spectrozonal Earth surface surveys. Resurs-F2 provides synchronous multizonal and spectrozonal (or chromatic) photography of the Earth's surface, with pictures having high photometric and geometric characteristics. An operational description of the spacecraft is given, and their products are discussed. The spacecraft's information is applicable in deposit exploration and other investigations of economic importance, in environmental control, and for scientific purposes.
