Abstract
A brief survey of the status of remote sensing or earth observations from space as applied to earth-bound resources management is made. Glimpses of space systems under execution and under planning are given. Utilisation of the remote sensing technology by developed and developing countries is reviewed, pointing out current problems and future potentials.
