Abstract

Based on the results of many years of flight testing with a working sample of a domestically produced videospectrometer, this paper shows that narrow-spectrum images and emission spectra can be constructed and presents examples of how they can be used to indicate the substantial composition (the form) and state of objects of the earth's surface.
