Abstract: 
We describe some questions involving the initiation and future application of the subsatellite test site within the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The subsatellite test site is organized on the basis of the educational geographic station «Zapadnaia Berezina» with the aim of ground service of the Belarusian remote sensing space system.
Keywords: calibration, remote sensing, space optical systems, subsatellite test site
