Cosmonautics. Sochi from space (2014)

Not only cosmonauts know what our planet looks like from space, but also the staff of the Scientific Center for Operational Monitoring of the Earth, which was created to combine all the achievements of remote sensing of the Earth.

The center's antennas receive information from remote sensing spacecraft.
