Home > Space Sciences > Remote Sensing in Planetary Science

The study of the Earth and other planets using data collected from sensors on spacecraft.

Basic principles of remote sensing: Introduction to the principles of remote sensing, including electromagnetic radiation, optics, and imaging sensors.
Planetary science fundamentals: Overview of the basic concepts in planetary science, including the formation of our solar system and the characteristics of planets and moons.
Planetary surface geology: Study of the physical and chemical properties of planetary surfaces, including geological landforms and mineralogy.
Planetary atmospheres: Study of the composition, structure, and dynamics of planetary atmospheres, including clouds, winds, and temperature variations.
Instrumentation and data analysis: Overview of the various sensors and measurement techniques used in planetary remote sensing, as well as the methods used to process and analyze data.
Image interpretation: Techniques used to interpret and extract information from remote sensing images, including image enhancement, feature extraction, and classification.
Data processing and analysis: Methods used to process planetary remote sensing data, including image registration, filtering, and spatial analysis.
Multi-spectral remote sensing: Study of the use of multiple spectral bands for remote sensing, and how this can be used to characterize the physical and chemical properties of planetary surfaces and atmospheres.
Radar imaging: Study of the principles of radar imaging and how it can be used for remote sensing in planetary science.
Differential interferometry: Study of the use of differential interferometry for remote sensing in planetary science, which can be used to measure subtle changes in topography and deformation.
- "Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object, in contrast to in situ or on-site observation."
- "Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geophysics, geography, land surveying, and most Earth science disciplines."
- "Exploration geophysics, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, geology"
- "It also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications, among others."
- "The term remote sensing generally refers to the use of satellite- or aircraft-based sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth."
- "It includes the surface and the atmosphere and oceans, based on propagated signals."
- "Active remote sensing is when a signal is emitted by a satellite or aircraft to the object and its reflection detected by the sensor." - "Passive remote sensing is when the reflection of sunlight is detected by the sensor."
- "The term is applied especially to acquiring information about Earth and other planets."
- "It includes the surface and the atmosphere and oceans, based on propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation)."
- "It may be split into 'active' remote sensing and 'passive' remote sensing."
