The Modular Opto-electronic Multispectral Stereo Scanner MOMS-02 experimental data acquired during the German Spacelab D2 mission will be used for a broad range of geoscientific objectives. The simultaneous acquisition of high spatial resolution, multispectral and stereo scenic data enables a real combination of thematic and topographic information, thus considerably improving the verification and interpretation of dynamic changes of the Earth"s surface by means of remote sensing. This paper gives a first assessment of the MOMS-02/D2 mission, the data quality and an overview on the planned methodological and application-oriented investigations for various test sites. On the basis of a few examples the possibilities of this system for future thematic applications is shown.
