The history of remote sensing methods application during the elimination of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident is reviewed. The analysis of achievements in the application of satellite flown and airborne surveys on mapping of environment contaminations by radionuclides was done. The conclusion about necessity of systematic investigations in this approach was done.
Keywords: Chernobyl, accident, satellite, irradiation, radioactivity
