This paper reviews the history on developing airborne geological exploration and remote sensing technology as well as their present situation during last thirty years in China and enumerates a lot of main achivement and progress in advancing and substantiating geological theory

accelerating the regional geological exploration

promoting the reconnaissance survey of mineral resources

extending the prospect of geological resources

improving the survey work of hydrogeology

engineering geology

environmental geology

urban geology and disaster geology. The theory

methodology and technology in geological remote sensing application is developed obviously.According to the developing trend of remote sensing technology and geological theory

the prospect for geological remote sensing development is proposed. Recent achivement is tracked and the theory of geology is renewed. The pontential of remote sensing is developed further.Strive for making a more contributions to the theory of geology exploration of mineral resources

environmental geology and so on.
