The report considers a brief history and the most important results of the Department of Remote Methods of Research of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Information is given about the founder of the institute, Academician V. V. Shuleikin (1895–1979), the director of the institute in 1974–1985 and the founder of the direction “satellite hydrophysics”, Academician B. A. Nelepo (1932–2007). For the first time, the information about one of the founders of the radiophysical methods of remote sensing of the ocean, a representative of the Kharkov scientific school V. V. Pustovoytenko (1946–2015), who worked in Sevastopol for the last forty years of his life and devoted scientific work to the development of satellite hydrophysics, was first introduced into scientific circulation. The general characteristic of the Institute’s work in the field of satellite oceanology is given, and the most significant results associated with the operation of the Kosmos-1500 spacecraft, as well as the specifics of the TPO-05 program and the Veyer-6 project, are considered.
