Abstract. The ground-space radio monitoring system is represented by a set of spatially distributed sensors for obtaining information about terrestrial (surface) and aerial objects, including radar stations with aperture synchronization, optical and electronic means of the visible and infrared ranges, communication lines providing the necessary radio coverage of the earth's (water) surface in the mode of relaying the required amounts of data to consumers. The technical characteristics of modern space-based facilities with high resolution are given, as well as the analytical expressions necessary to detail the processes under study. Possible actions affecting the information stability of monitoring are considered.
Key words: radio monitoring, radar station, aperture synthesis, optoelectronic devices, satellite data transmission system.
