In the past two decades, the use of both photographic and non-photographic remote sensing from satellite platforms has provided a unique capability for the observation and study of Earth and planetary surfaces. A wide range of imaging sensors that operate in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum have yielded images of large areas that formerly were unknown or that had not previously been observed at a simultaneous instant in time. In addition, remote sensors equipped with multispectral or multiband capabilities are capable of taking data at different wavelengths simultaneously. Notable examples include the LANDSAT series of multispectral scanners, thematic mappers, and return beam vidicons. Synthetic aperture radar and LANDSAT imagery are discussed.
