Integrated assessment of the production potential of coal pits in the mining states in the territory of the Republic of India using the results of space monitoring; Kомплексная оценка производственного потенциала угольных карьеров в добывающих штатах на территории Республики индия с использованием результатов космического мониторинга

The article presents the results of studying the technological and technical aspects of surface mining operations at coal deposits in all the mining states in the territory of India. Remote sensing studies and analytical calculations revealed the number of mining and haulage machines working in all the coal pits, as well as determined the annual volume of overburden and coal excavation and transportation. A consistent trend in surface coal mining in the national scale of subsoil use has been identified based on the results of satellite observations. © Zh.V. Mironova, I.V. Zenkov, Le Hung Trinh, Yu.P.
