Abstract: 
The article deals with the legal approaches to the regulation of the activity for the Earth’s remote sensing (ERS) in more than 10 countries with various models of the market of relevant services. The experience of some countries has been analyzed in the context of the development within the framework of regional cooperation of the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States. The review of the legal model of the ERS regulation was carried out, taking into account its public or private nature and the degree of development of the market for related services. The review covered the study of the following blocks of issues: organizational and institutional structure of ensuring appropriate relations, data dissemination policy, permitting regulation of the ERS activity, protection of intellectual property for the products of the ERS. Based on the analysis, some recommendations were made to regulate the relevant relations in Ukraine.
Keywords: data, Earth’s remote sensing, information, legal regulation, licensing, national legislation, public and private interests, remote sensing services’ market
