Abstract

Earth Observation (EO) is one of the core segments in the domain of space technology applications. It utilizes the behaviour of the electromagnetic spectrum while interacting with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, or hydrosphere to deduct quantitative or qualitative information about targets. The operational era of EO started with launch of Earth Resource Technology Satellites (ERTS, rechristened later as Landsat) on July 23, 1972. Advancements in EO capabilities over the past (nearly) 50 years have helped to improve our understanding of the Earth—its resources and internal and external processes.
