Expanding the spectrum from spaceVarious space data gathering systems are described which aid in exploration for mineral and petroleum resources in Central America and elsewhere throughout the world. The Side Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR), the Seasat, configured for ocean studies, and the SIR-A, the first spacecraft radar to be configured for geologic studies, are discussed. The low cost and importance of spacecraft in data gathering are emphasized.
