Remote Sensing and Satellite Technology

Remote Sensing refers to the science of identification of Earth surface features and estimation of their biophysical properties using electromagnetic radiation as a medium of interaction. Satellite technology in an equatorial circular orbit at a distance is approximately 42,164km from the Earth station, i.e. approximately 35,787km above mean sea level, which has a period equal to the Earth’s rotation on its axis and would remain geostationary over the same point on the Earth equator.
