Land monitoring and cartographic surveys using aeronautical aids

Nowadays there are many tasks, the implementation of which can be fully or partially assigned to aerostatic balloons, as to air laboratories. This paper analyzes the existing types of balloons and possible tasks for their use. The possibilities of using this technique for monitoring lands and for carrying out cartographic research are shown. During the course of the research of the material of this paper, the disadvantages of the use of aerostatic balloons were also found. They are also described in this paper, and possible options to overcome them are given. This article shows potential ways to eliminate the shortcomings of the described air technology when conducting cartographic research and solving monitoring problems.
