The analysis of the status and outlined the trends in the development of space radiometry. Considered are the characteristics of the main types of radiometers with conical scanning, worked recent years in Earth orbit at the Russian and foreign satellites. On the basis of the conducted analysis of proposed project microwave radiometer-spectrometer (MRS) with limit of measuring characteristics in the frequency spectrum of 6,8 (V, H), 10,6 (V, H, ±45°); 18,7 (V, H, ±45°); 22,2 (H); 36 (V, H, ±45°); 85 (V, H); 118 (6 channels); 150 (V, H); 183 (6 channels) GHz.
