Remote sensing
is a method of studying the composition,
structure, dynamics, and productivity of
ecosystems and the state of the biosphere by
means of reflectance and emittance
characteristics of the earths surface measureable
from aireraft and spacecraft, and the
interpretation of such remotely sensed imagery.

What is the function of GNSS?

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a


constellation of satellites providing signals from space
that transmit positioning and timing data to GNSS
receivers. The receivers then use this data to
determine location. By definition, GNSS provides
global coverage.
