This work prepared jointly by the specialists of the 
Soviet Union and GDR is supposed to be published on GDR's poly- 
graphic basis, The publishing house of GDR's Academic Ferlag in 
collaboration with the "Nauka" publishers, USSR Academy of 
Sciences, are being engaged in this work. It is expected to 
: produce this multi-colour unique publication in three languages = 
Russian, German and English, thus, opening its way to the wide 
reading public all over the world. No doubt that such a publica- - 
tion will promote further adoption of space methods in the 
studies of the natural environment and solution of the tasks 
common to all mankind, which involve control over the state of 
the natural environment, rational management of nature, improve- 
ment of evaluation methods of the Earth's already limited natural 
resources,
