Summary

Review has been made of the first results and perspectives of investigations in geophysics and bordering sciences (geology, geography, agrobiology, etc.) by means of manned orbital space laboratories. Relatively detailed discussion is given to the problems of the interpretation of terrain feature pictures from space. Attentively considered are the technique and results of the photometric processing of atmospheric photographs near the horizon with the purpose of studying atmospheric optical non-homogeneities (in particular, aerosol layers). The possible investigations based on the use of data about the outgoing radiation spectra are mentioned.

Резюме

Сделан обзор первых резулътатов и перспектив исследований в области геофизики и смежных наук (геология, георафия, агробиология и др.) при помощи пилотируемых орбиталъных космических лабораторий. Сравнительно детальо обсуждены проблемы интерпретации фотографий земных образований из космоса. Родробно рассмотрены методика и результаты фотометрической обработкн фотографий атмосферы вблизи горизонта с целью изучения оптических неоднороднотей (в частности, аэрозольных слоёв) в атмосфере. Упомянуты возможности исследований на основе использования данных о спектрах уходящего излучения.
