Concept of Ukrainian Aerospace Observation Network

Remote sensing data have been successfully used for environmental and natural resource tasks in Ukraine, enabling ocean observations and global climate change investigations, etc. to increase. The study of user needs during planning of equipment for new Ukrainian satellites, organising the receiving, storage and use of new data are also very important tasks. Users have problems searching data in Ukrainian and foreign databases, studying successful applications, and gaining common use of data for their own task-solving. The Ukrainian Aerospace Observation Network (UASON) was initiated by the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) to help solve these and other problems.
