Remote Sensing collection of information about a surface without direct contact → lots of information → no contact
Astronomy science involving the observation and explanation of events occurring beyond the Earth and its atmosphere → exploring → geology applied to the universe??
Evolution of Astronomy • Explore: - samples of planets and smaller solid bodies that fall to Earth as meteorites - telescope observations and selected properties measurements using accessible parts of the EM spectrum (Moon)
Evolution of Remote Sensing & Astronomy • 1610 – Galileo (telescope) • 1912 – Balloon flight (discovered cosmic rays) • 169 space flights • Some missions failed • Latest mission: Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter
Space Technology • Rockets/Launch Vechicles Apollo 11, Columbia • Orbiting Observatories Hubble, CGRO, Chandra • Space Stations MIR, Atlantis, Skylab • Earth Observatories Telescopes
