Abstract

Civil engineers, due to the required accuracy and detailed information, have always faced numerous limitations in collecting data including time consuming nature of the process of such activities. The daily increasing abilities of space technology which have brought about many applications in various sciences and technologies, have led civil engineers consider satellite systems and utilize them in provision of part of their needs for information. In this paper, satellite data abilities and their benefits for civil engineers have been discussed and one of the projects containing relevant experiences has been mentioned as an example.
