Abstract

This paper discusses examples of data collected from the "PRIRODA-MIR Space Station" over the territories of some African countries. Among these countries are Egypt, Ethiopia, Somali, Botswana, and some others. The measurements have been conducted with the aid of microwave radiometers, thermal infrared, near-infrared sensors, and optical instruments.
