Interview with Vladimir Gershenzon, ScanEx Director

Earth observation from space is increasingly universal in nature. Operational, objective and independent space monitoring is a tool which has become available for use by authorities, supervising agencies, non-governmental institutions and business. An entire range of satellites equipped with remote sensing instruments has been placed in orbit to acquire versatile information required for the assessment of environmental conditions, prediction and prevention of natural and technological disasters, meteorological, natural resources and other studies.

In the recent years, imagery of Earth from space has been increasingly applied for area management and economy planning.

One of the leading Russian companies providing services on reception and thematic processing of space images to order is ScanEx Research and Development Center (ScanEx RDC). ScanEx RDC manufactures products from reception technology to software and is also involved in the development of specialised geoservices.
