Remote sensing is the process of gathering information about an object or area from a distance, typically using specialized equipment such as satellites, airplanes, or drones. Astronomical remote sensing refers to the use of telescopes and other instruments to observe celestial bodies and phenomena from afar. With advancements in technology and data analysis techniques, remote sensing has become an important tool for understanding our universe, from studying the properties of distant stars and galaxies to detecting planets beyond our solar system. Remote sensing astrometry, in particular, focuses on measuring the positions, motions, and other properties of celestial objects using remote sensing techniques. Learn more about our research in remote sensing instrumentation
