NASA spaceborne terrestrial remote-sensing projects of the 1960-1983 period are briefly surveyed, and future plans are outlined. The increased coverage of spectral bands and improving resolution provided by such satellites as Tiros, Seasat, and the ERTS/Landsat series are indicated; the Shuttle imaging radar, SAR, and multispectral IR radiometer are characterized; and the planned Upper-Atmospheric Research Satellite and ocean-topography experiment (Topex) are considered. Drawings and photographs of the spacecraft and sample images are included.
