Spy satellites – officially known as reconnaissance satellites – are orbiting spacecraft used by governments to secretly monitor activities on Earth for national security purposes. They serve as high-tech "eyes in the sky, "peering down from space to collect intelligence on foreign military forces, weapons developments, missile launches, and other strategic targets.  5, record 1, English, - reconnaissance%20satellite

Les satellites de reconnaissance sont une pièce maîtresse sur un théâtre d'opération. Plus performants que les satellites civils de télédétection, ils peuvent fournir des images précises de l'état de la situation à un instant donné. Le commandement est en mesure de connaître la position exacte de ses troupes et les troupes ennemies et suivre l'avancement en temps quasi réel. Ils sont complémentaires des drones et des satellites d'écoute et de surveillance.  5, record 1, French, - satellite%20de%20reconnaissance

Very high spatial resolution satellites now enable to detect individual trees and to monitor the evolution of a tree stand density. For instance, in arid areas of New Mexico, comparisons between current commercial images and old declassified pictures taken by military satellites have evidenced a high increase in the number of trees over a thirty-year period.  2, record 3, English, - very%20high%20spatial%20resolution%20satellite

Established in 1993 under UN Security Council resolution 846, UNOMUR was given the mandate to monitor the border between Uganda and Rwanda and verify that no military assistance-lethal weapons, ammunition and other material of possible military use-was being provided across this border. While the tragic turn of events in Rwanda in April 1994 prevented UNOMUR from fully implementing its mandate, the Observer Mission played a useful role as a confidence-building mechanism in the months following the conclusion of the Arusha Peace Agreement and during UNAMIR's initial efforts to defuse tensions between the Rwandese parties and to facilitate the implementation of that agreement.  1, record 4, English, - United%20Nations%20Observer%20Mission%20Uganda%2DRwanda

Établie en 1993 en vertu de la résolution 846 du Conseil de sécurité, la MONUOR a reçu pour mandat de surveiller la frontière séparant l'Ouganda et le Rwanda et de veiller à ce qu'aucune aide militaire - armes meurtrières, munitions et autres matériels pouvant avoir un usage militaire - ne traverse cette frontière. Même si les tragiques événements survenus au Rwanda en avril 1994 ont empêché la MONUOR de remplir pleinement son mandat, la Mission d'observation a joué un rôle utile comme mécanisme d'instauration de la confiance dans les mois qui ont suivi la conclusion de l'Accord de paix d'Arusha et durant les efforts initiaux de la MINUAR en vue de désamorcer les tensions entre les parties rwandaises et de faciliter la mise en œuvre de l'accord.  1, record 4, French, - Mission%20d%27observation%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20Ouganda%2DRwanda

DARPA [Defense Advanced Research Project Agency] says the MAV can be no larger than 6 inches across, and "capable of performing a useful military mission at an affordable cost". A soldier should be able to reach into his backpack, pop out a micro vehicle, hand-launch it, and then remotely monitor what it detects. More combative versions might act as minicruise missiles or radar-zappers.(Popular Science, January 1998, p. 54).  1, record 5, English, - microflyer

The SEM subsystem consists of four instruments used for in situ measurements and monitoring of the near-earth (geostationary altitude) space environment and for observing the solar X-ray output. An energetic particles sensor (EPS) and high energy proton and alpha detector (HEPAD) monitor the incident flux density of protons, alpha particles, and electrons over an extensive range of energy levels. Solar output is monitored by an X-ray sensor (XRS) mounted on an X-ray positioning platform, fixed on the solar array yoke. Two redundant three-axis magnetometers, mounted on a deployed 3-meter boom, operate one at a time to monitor Earth’s geomagnetic field strength in the vicinity of the spacecraft. The SEM instruments are capable of ground command-selectable, in-flight calibration for monitoring on-orbit performance and ensuring proper operation.  3, record 6, English, - space%2Denvironment%20monitor

The Space Environment Monitor(SEM) measures in situ the effect of the Sun on the near-earth solar-terrestrial electromagnetic environment, providing real-time data to the Space Environment Services Center(SESC). The SESC, as the nation's "space weather" service, receives, monitors, and interprets a wide variety of solar-terrestrial data, and issues reports, alerts and forecasts for special events such as solar flares or geomagnetic storms. This information is important to the operation of military and civilian radio wave and satellite communication and navigation systems, as well as electric power networks, and to the mission of geophysical explorers, Shuttle and Space Station astronauts, high-altitude aviators, and scientific researchers.  3, record 6, English, - space%2Denvironment%20monitor

When a ceasefire was agreed to by the warring factions in the former Republic of Yugoslavia in September 1991, the European Community provided a number of civilian and military observers to monitor the agreement.

South Africa had controlled Namibia, which it called Southwest Africa, since defeating the German colonizers during the First World War. Starting in the early 1970s, a low-level guerrilla war had been waged against the South Africans by the Southwest Africa People's Organization(SWAPO). In 1988, South Africa had decided to grant the territory its independence, and the UN prepared to oversee the transition process. The United Nations Transition Assistance Group(UNTAG) involved approximately 4, 500 military and civilian observers from over 50 of the UN member countries. The purpose of UNTAG was to conduct a year-long preparation for the country's independence elections, and then monitor those elections in November 1989. When independence was proclaimed in March 1990, UNTAG ceased operations.  3, record 11, English, - United%20Nations%20Transition%20Assistance%20Group

L'Afrique du Sud contrôlait la Namibie, que l'on appelait alors le Sud-Ouest africain, depuis la défaite des colons allemands lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. À compter du début des années 1970, une guérilla de faible intensité était menée contre les Sud-Africains par la SWAPO (South West Africa People's Organization). En 1988, l'Afrique du Sud a décidé d'accorder l'indépendance à ce territoire, et l'ONU s'est préparée à superviser le processus de transition. Le Groupe d'assistance des Nations Unies pour la période de transition (GANUPT) faisait intervenir quelque 4 500 observateurs militaires et civils représentant plus de 50 pays membres de l'ONU. Le mandat du GANUPT était de procéder pendant un an aux préparatifs nécessaires aux élections qui aboutiraient à l'indépendance du pays, puis de surveiller le déroulement de ces élections, en novembre 1989. Lorsque l'indépendance a été proclamée, en mars 1990, le GANUPT s'est retiré.  5, record 11, French, - Groupe%20d%27assistance%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20pour%20la%20p%C3%A9riode%20de%20transition
