Remote sensing is the science of making inferences without coming into physical contact
with the object under study. The speaker will explain the basic concepts of remote sensing
satellites built and flown by India. Space-borne instruments have been extensively used in
many applications, such as agriculture, forest status, water resources, the tracking
(advance/retreat) of glaciers, infrastructure development, cyclone track-prediction, ocean
state, weather-forecasting, climate change etc.
