Features: This book contains a large number of remote sensing images and data tables. The original images are all digital, clear and exquisite, with collectible value. The development of remote sensing has begun since the 1960s and has gone through nearly four decades, from aerial remote sensing to satellite remote sensing and then to space remote sensing. Space remote sensing is characterized by spacecraft as its main carrier, with the task of detecting planets and their moons in the solar system, naturally including the Earth and its moon. This popular science book explains the principles, tasks, applications, achievements, and development directions of space remote sensing in simple language, discussing current hot topics such as "Viewing the Great Wall from Space" and "Lunar Exploration." Therefore, it can serve as a reference book for expanding knowledge and accumulating information for a wide range of readers, including teenagers, middle and high school students, university students, teachers, office workers, and the elderly, as well as organizers, managers, and intermediate-level technical personnel in the field of remote sensing.
