The use of space technology to conduct repetitive global surveys of terrestrial surface conditions is reviewed. The state-of-the-art is determined by the measurement capabilities of orbital sensor systems, the maneuvering and data transmission capabilities of orbital platforms, and the sophistication of the user community. Introduction of the Landsat Thematic Mapper and SPOT sensor systems and operational use of the Space Shuttle are discussed. Research challenges of the 1980's are related to the removal of atmospheric and topographic effects in remotely sensed imagery, the extraction of information from high dimensionality data sets, and the ability to conduct meaningful ground truth surveys to support the analysis and interpretation of remotely sensed data.
