A remote sensing instrument A remote sensing instrument collects information about an collects information about an object or phenomenon within the object or phenomenon within the instantaneous-field-of-view instantaneous-field-of-view (IFOV) of the sensor system (IFOV) of the sensor system without being in direct physical without being in direct physical contact with it. The sensor is contact with it. The sensor is located on aasuborbital located on suborbital or satellite platform. or satellite platform.
