"The Presidential Decree on the Implementation of Aerospace Technologies in the Economic Sectors for 2024−2026" was adopted.

According to the decree, for the years 2024−2026, the following have been determined as the priority directions of state space monitoring to increase efficiency in identifying problems in the economic sectors and eliminating them:

  • determining the unauthorized occupation of land plots and the construction of buildings and structures on such land plots;
  • defining the boundaries of forested areas and monitoring their condition;
  • detecting unauthorized use of subsoil in the field of geology, baseless use of areas where mineral resources are located for other purposes;
  • identifying situations where waste is disposed of outside the designated areas, detecting newly emerged illegal waste zones;
  • monitoring the silting of reservoirs and the level of water regime;
  • studying the effective use of agricultural land, determining the types of crops and the volumes of water consumption.

From March 1, 2025, remote monitoring and risk analysis of subsoil use will be conducted through the "Geomonitoring" information system and the SGM platform.

Space Monitoring

Space monitoring of territories provides the ability to constantly observe Earth changes remotely through space, using ground and airborne equipment designed for remote sensing of Earth (change detection). 

In addition, it becomes possible to detect and analyze changes in objects and areas, and events occurring on the Earth's surface in a timely manner through the control of changes and the results of remote sensing from space. Space monitoring is the regular collection of information about the state of the Earth's surface from space vehicles.

Satellite images and space monitoring are increasingly being used in various fields, including state, regional, and urban planning and management. Space monitoring provides the opportunity to obtain information that is nearly inaccessible through ground-based research in vast territories and areas difficult to reach.
