Abstract
The use of satellite remote sensing instrumentation to gather multispectral and hyperspectral data is often viewed as the panacea for monitoring activities. This paper provides an overview of these technologies and data, and their applicability to the problem of uranium production monitoring. We discuss the available instruments, their parameters and limitations, on-going work in this area, and potential observables in uranium mining and milling operations as they pertain to the international safeguards community.
