Abstract: Remote sensing science is a rapidly growing field of the Earth 
sciences. Since its emergence and to the present day an extensive volume 
of literature has been published which traces wide application of remote 
sensing in human activities. According to the ISI Web of Science in 1965-
2005 more than 19,000 papers were published on remote sensing. A number of 
papers grew exponentially with a doubling period of about 6 years. 
Notwithstanding all specialized journals there are a lot more remote 
sensing papers published in a vast list of source titles (LIP to 350 
journals). Only 25% of the retrieved papers are published in 10 journals 
which ISI is assigned to a subject category of remote sensing. The time 
line of remote sensing periodicals issued in 19081995 shows an exponential 
growth with a doubling period of about 15 years. After 1995 there is a 
prominent deviation from the exponential curve which shows the demand 
saturation for specialized journals. The revealed features are discussed 
in terms of dynamics and impact of remote sensing in the current Earth 
sciences development.
