Remote Sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance, typically from a satellite or aircraft. Spacecraft sensors provide a global perspective and enhance our understanding of the Earth’s surface, gravity field, oceans, atmosphere, and space. NSI research in this area includes the following:

• Characterizing sea ice and the Arctic
• Automating the ingestion of commercial imagery for DOD partners
• Identifying ionospheric disturbances from man-made hazards and natural events

Missions:  ISR, Defense

Challenges:  Atmospheric correction, calibration

Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØStrengths:  GNSS, small satellites
