Abstract :
Earth and its environment is getting worse mainly due to human activity. So it is necessary to monitor the Earth continuously in global, regional and local area in proper spatial and temporal resolution based upon user requirements. Therefore, ideal monitoring system should be developed in collaboration with domestic and foreign organizations. In this paper, the authors present the status and future trends of monitoring systems
