REMOTE SENSING AND THE PROBLEMS OF AEROSPACE TRAINING OF THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SPECIALIZING IN CARTOGRAPHY

Abstract

Aerospace training of cartographers at the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics of the MSU Faculty of Geography includes several educational disciplines and practical training in field interpretation. The Interpretation of Aerospace Imagery is to be considered the main course requiring not less than 50% of time assigned for the whole aerospace training at the department. As a general rule, new courses for master students should be developed by researchers of the department basing on their investigations. The aircraft-based training in aero-visual interpretation of space imagery is worth introducing at the Faculty of Geography.
