Sensors on Earth observation satellites often take measurements of emitted energy over some portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., UV, visible, infrared, microwave, or radio). [1] The invention of climate research through the use of satellite remote telemetry began in the 1960s through development of space probes to study other planets.

A bright artificial satellite flare is visible above the Very Large Telescope.Satellite constellations could have an impact on ground-based astronomy. [1]Satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) are often deployed in satellite constellations, because the coverage area provided by a single satellite only covers a small area that moves as the satellite travels at the high ...
