More and more useful spectral information has been supplied to geoscientists from sophisticated space sensors with increasing detecting ability. Because the quality of spectral information depends on its sensor characteristics, sensor development is the key to remote sensing techniques. As an Earth observation space sensor the German MOMS-2P (Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Stereo Scanner) was launched May 1996 aboard the PRIRODA Module docked on the Russian MIR Space Station in a preoperational mission for about three year duration. Technical features of the Sensor are three-line along-track stereo imaging, high spatial and spectral resolution, optimized multispectral and panchromatic bands and combination of stereo and multispectral imaging. The advanced sensor on the MIR-station can receive data covering the earth surface from N51.6° to S51.6°. This paper gives a critical review of the new generation of optical satellite sensors for earth observation, with special emphasis on the technical development of the sensor MOMS-2P and demonstrates newly acquired MOMS images that can be applied to many fields of thematic investigations.
