The current paradigm for space-based remote sensing relies upon frequency-specific measurements in pre-defined orbits with fixed or narrowly variable apertures. The suites of Earth observing instruments currently deployed or planned for deployment within the next 3 years typify this paradigm. To enable NASA's Earth Science vision, the future paradigm of remote sensing must employ frequency-agile measurements capable of multi-scene observations. Real-time, autonomous adaptive sensing and taskability will be critical. Advanced capabilities will include: (1) Miniaturized observatories. (2) Robust, compact instrument architectures. (3) Miniaturized/programmable components. (4) Aperture synthesis. (5) Deployable apertures. (6) Low cost production.
