  • Abstract
    Artificial satellites promise means of completing precise surveys of the world and of acquiring world-wide photographic coverage for the production of topographic maps. The applicability of satellites to the field of geodesy is covered, and problem areas associated with map compilation serve to emphasize a critical research area.
