Following the tradition established last years, on 15 November 2013 at NTs OMZ the out plenary meeting on the Russian System of Satellite Observations and Technologies: State-of-the-Art and Prospects was held. The meeting was attended by more than 100 specialists from 45 lead research, production and commercial organizations of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan; 18 oral reports and 17 poster reports were presented.
The out session was attended by representatives of the Federal Space Agency. M.N. Khailov, Head of Department of Technical Policy and Quality, ROSCOSMOS in his opening address noted the incontestable significance of organizing and holding such events contributing to efficient cooperation and exchange of experience between research, production and commercial organizations in the Earth remote sensing.
During the out session there were considered such issues as technical characteristics and processing techniques of data from operative and future spacecraft (KANOPUS-V, RESURS-P1, METEOR-M2, OBZOR-O), and technologies for satellite data use. Several papers presented the capabilities of geoinformation services in remote sensing data distribution (the ROSCOSMOS Geoportal, International Charter on Space and Major Disasters). Particular emphasis was placed on hyperspectral imagery features and techniques of standard and value-added processing of such data.
