This volume of the Manual of Remote Sensing series, Volume 1.1: Earth Observing Platforms Sensors, updates the previous CD-ROM database of sensors and platforms with an interactive online database and adds chapters of context for major families of sensors and platforms. The intent of this volume is to enable all who have an interest in remote sensing -- from student to researcher to practitioner -- to see what the possibilities are, how the field has developed and where it is going. The past several years have witnessed proliferation of the use and awareness of remotely sensed imagery in research fields not traditionally concerned with geospatial technologies and by the general public for an ever-expanding variety of tasks. The chapters of this volume do not seek to address all possible uses for remotely sensed data. The goal is to provide a starting point for anyone searching for a greater understanding of what has, can and may be done using remote sensors for Earth observation. Following a brief history of key developments in remote sensing and related technologies, the chapters introduce the reader to the basics of the broad sensor families and types and conclude with chapters on the related in situ sensors and a look at the future of spaceborne remote sensing. Table of Contents 1. Timeline of Key Developments in Platforms and Sensors for Earth Observations 2. Basics of Remote Sensing Systems 3. Thermal Remote Sensing: Theory, Sensors, and Applications 4. Terrestrial Laser Ranging: Current Capabilities and Future Directions 5. Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Sensors and Applications Microwave Sensors Active and Passive 7. Space-Based Platforms and Sensors 8. In situ Sensors and Field Methods 9. The Current Status and Future Direction of Spaceborne Remote Sensing Platforms and Imaging Systems

Since the publication of the first edition in the 1940s, the Manual of Photogrammetry has served as the comprehensive reference for those working in the field of photogrammetry and for those in other fields who need to use or understand photogrammetric applications. Recent years have seen fundamental changes in photogrammetric theory and practice, due both to technological changes such as the the widespread adoption of digital imagery, and also the emergence of separate fields with strong photogrammetric components, such as geographic information systems, computer vision and remote sensing. The Sixth Edition of the Manual covers photogrammetry in depth, as well as its constituent technologies, providing the student, practitioner or researcher with a single valuable reference resource.

After more than 15 years of research and writing, the Landsat Legacy Project Team has published, in collaboration with the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), a seminal work on the nearly half-century of monitoring the Earth's lands with Landsat. Born of technologies that evolved from the Second World War, Landsat not only pioneered global land monitoring but in the process drove innovation in digital imaging technologies and encouraged development of global imagery archives. Access to this imagery led to early breakthroughs in natural resources assessments, particularly for agriculture, forestry, and geology. The technical Landsat remote sensing revolution was not simple or straightforward. Early conflicts between civilian and defense satellite remote sensing users gave way to disagreements over whether the Landsat system should be a public service or a private enterprise. The failed attempts to privatize Landsat nearly led to its demise. Only the combined engagement of civilian and defense organizations ultimately saved this pioneer satellite land monitoring program. With the emergence of 21st century Earth system science research, the full value of the Landsat concept and its continuous 45-year global archive has been recognized and embraced. Discussion of Landsat's future continues but its heritage will not be forgotten. The pioneering satellite system's vital history is captured in this notable volume on Landsat's Enduring Legacy.
