Over the last decades the earth observation data has played an important role for the well being of society and the earth as a whole. This dependence of the human race on the space data is ever increasing and expected to have a massive breakthrough in various needs and applications in future. This study attempts to identify and analyse the instruments and other technologies used in all the earth observation satellites till date, tabulating them with their characteristics and their significance. This study is done based on the secondary qualitative information collected from committees, organisations and data available free on the web. A brief study was made and an easier and better method to analyse the details of earth observation satellites has been figured from the review of all the information available. All the information gathered is tabulated according to the focus of their application i.e. land, water, atmosphere and disaster of the instruments carried by the earth observation satellites designed. This method would prove useful for the researchers and other users, mainly students which would give them an idea about the instruments and technologies comparison for the various satellites that are used for a particular focus. This research which is done on the focus of earth observation satellites on the earth summarises the different communication technologies used between earth and the observation satellites. Moreover the best method and the effective technologies has been analysed which is resulted from the table that had been created. Finally the researched information is distributed to the users through a website for access.
