Cameras served as thefirst remote sensorsover 150 years ago.
Pictures of Cameras from http://www.historiccamera.com/cgi-bin/ads/suite/classifieds/classifieds.cgi , cameras pictured not necessarily used in remote sensing
The history of remote sensing
began with the invention ofphotography. The term"photography" is derived fromtwo Greek words meaning "light"(phos) and "writing" (graphien).

1666 - Sir Isaac Newton while experimenting with aprism, found that he could disperse light into a
spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,and violet. Utilizing a second prism, he found thathe could re-combine the colors into white light.
1676 - Johann Christopher Sturm , introducesthe relax lens principle where by a mirror ismounted at a 45 degree angle that projects animage, the essential development that led tothe modern single lens reflex camera

1859 – Gaspard Felix Tournachon tookcameras up into a balloon to makeland surveys. He was not verysuccessful, but this began aerialphotography. Unfortunately, this first
picture is lost. 1860s – Aerial photos from balloons
continued to be the standard.

E. Archibald of England began mountingcameras on kites and this method stayed popularthrough the last two decades of 19th century.

Cameras were attached topigeons. The cameras wereprogrammed to take apicture every 30 seconds asthe pigeon flew along .

Unfortunately, most pigeons
were shot down by opposing
troops. Their flight path was
not predictable which posedan additional problem.

1960 – The first non-photosensors were televisioncameras mounted onunmanned spacecraft and
devoted to looking at clouds.TIROS-1, Television InfraredObservation Satellite, wasfirst sensor launched. It hassince been renamed NOAA,

1972: The launch of the Earth Resources Technology
Satellite (ERTS-A); later renamed LANDSAT I. Thiswas the first satellite dedicated to civilian remotesensing.
A fork in the road: civilian and military RS head indifferent directions.
Civilian RS: moderate spatial resolution sensors anda focus on “regional” studies. A standard Landsat
scene is 185 km X 185 km. Great for things like cropmonitoring.
Military RS: focus on very high spatial resolution.

1980s: Two parallel lines of development:
Improved sensor for Landsat 4; theThematic Mapper (TM) that was optimizedfor vegetation RS based on basic research
done during the 1970s Delays in development of Landsat 4
suggested that there might be a windowduring which there would be no operational
Landsat. This lead to “discovery” that operational
meteorological satellites could be used for
vegetation RS8/30/2015 23

1980s: (continued):
NOAA meteorological satellites havevery low spatial resolution (1-4km vs.30-80m for the sensors carried by
Landsat) but this also enables them toimage much larger areas (swath widthof over 2000km vs. 185 km for Landsat).
Data from these sensors can be used toaddress different questions, especiallythose related to global climate change

viewed as a failure

The RapidEye Mission was launched in 2008. Thefive satellites were launched on asingle Dnepr vehicle and placed in a common sun-synchronous orbit of 620 km, with the satellitesequally spaced about 19 minutes apart in their orbit,
ensuring frequent imaging of particular areas ofinterest. The satellites can be redirected once perorbit through the telemetry, tracking and commandunit. A data handling and storage unit is situatedonboard each satellite as well as a high-speed X-
band communication system. The designed lifetimeof these satellites is 7 years. In 2015 it was estimated, that the RapidEye satellites
would remain in service until 2021
