“…pace remote sensing instruments enable real-time or periodic observation of various phenomena and changes on Earth's surface on a global scale. This includes natural disasters, climate change, land use, vegetation dynamics, ocean dynamics, water resource conditions, and more [1][2][3][4][5]. They are instrumental in providing scientists with timely access to extensive Earth observation data, facilitating the monitoring of environmental changes and early warning of potential risks.…”

“…Peri, Hartley, and Duda describe a sensorweb approach that involves a large numbers of similar or identical fiequencyagile instruments. [6] These hyperspectral remote sensing instruments would normally operate in lower resolution monitoring modes that would use techniques such as spectral band aggregation, spatial averaging, data selection, and compression to reduce the monitoring data rate. However, the system would be capable of autonomous event detection and real-time adaptive operation.…”

Terms such as "sensonvebs," "satellite trains," and "constellations" are used to describe multiple mission observation concepts. This paper categorizes these concepts based upon how they observe. The observation aspects are: (1) the spatial distribution of the observations, (2) the degree of similarity of the observations, and (3) requirement for real-time observation coordination. The author proposes a taxonomy for these concepts based on names already proposed or in common use. Similar classifications could be based upon aspects such as communication or location. The author hopes this work will help advance the discussion and development of multiple mission Observation capabilities.

Abstract-An Earth System Model of increasing capability and predictive power will depend on ever more sophisticated observing systems. These observing systems will require increased resolution in the spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal domains. There is a need for improvement of individual system capabilities and for the deployment of large numbers of sensors. Many new technologies will be required to accomplish this. Projecting decades into the future is difficult; however, because fundamental physical limits provides constraints on future progress, it is possible to outline the general form of future remote sensing systems and the technologies they will rely on. Several trends are expected to continue far into the future: miniaturization and integration of electronics, increases in computational power, progress in large apertures, increases in transmitter power for active systems, miniaturization of optics, and increases in frequency tunability and flexibility. Ultimately, the size of an observing platform will be dictated solely by the physics of its parts. These technology challenges for future global Earth observation can best be met through the combined efforts of the international community.
