Remote Sensing Applications for Planetary Surfaces

Planetary Remote Sensing usually refers only to remote sensing of planets other than Earth in our Solar System. Data used from planetary remote sensing has been used to gather such information as Planetary topography, including surface roughness and surface characteristics,atmosphere and radiant temperatures,atmospheric mineral and chemical compositions,gravity, atmospheric pressure and density information. The current primary research focuses in analysis and interpretation of remote sensing data, with an emphasis on TMC instruments. The work has a global remit with studies over both geodetic and topography applications.There is a strong emphasis on collaborative research programmes, with a network of international links to universities and research organisations.
