In this research, characteristics, composition, and possibility of the existing nanosatellite constellations for Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) of the companies Planet and Spire Global have been analyzed. It has been concluded that the actual level of profit, obtained as a result of the existing nanosatellites operations, does not exceed 15% of the predicted level relative to the theoretical size of the space services market. In this work proposals have been presented for expanding the target capabilities of the ERS nanosatellite constellations.
