Abstract: 
The paper deals with the automatic internal calibration of the side-looking radars for the remote sensing of the Earth aboard the «Cosmos-1500» and «Sich-1» satellites, as well as of the airborne multipurpose radar system MARS. Measurement errors are estimated, and some results of the radar surveying of testing sites are given.
Keywords: internal calibration, remote sensing, side-looking radars
