So many satellites and sensors
According to NASA-there are about 3000 satellites operating in Earth orbit in 2012.

What role does the electromagnetic spectrum play in satellite imagery?
Visible Light

Differences Among Infrared Regions
Near IR- (0.7 - 1)microns 740- (3000-5200 K) Earth’s surface and above
Mid IR 5 to (25-40) microns (92.5-140) to 740 K only above the atmosphere
Far IR (25-40) to (200-350) microns (10.6-18.5) to (92.5-140) K only above the atmosphere

Satellite imagery is a special case of photography.
Radiation bands in the electromagnetic spectrum that are reflected from the Earth’s surface back into space can be collected by satellite sensors and stored digitally.
The most common electromagnetic bands used in satellite imagery are visible light, near infrared radiation (NIR), and infrared radiation (IR).

Tradeoffs in Sensor Design
To increase the signal to noise ratio, we can :
Field of View Dwell time Width of spectral bands
How do these changes affect
the different resolutions?

Aerial Photography Works on the same principles
as satellite imagery Altitude is less giving better
resolution and more details. Used for change analysis,
planning, natural resource management, and land use identification.
