3. Supervision of land use and agricultural productions.
4. Monitoring of forest changes, forest management, forest tenure activities, automated inventory, monitoring of forest recovery works.
5. Monitoring of dried wetlands.
6. Inventory and supervision of urban infrastructure objects and mining operations.
7. Supervision of oil and gas fields and facilities.
8. Detection of prospective areas for exploration of fossils and minerals.
9. Monitoring of natural resources and shelf ecology (for foreign customers).
10. Monitoring of natural and renewable resources.
