type

oral

Description

First focus is on Earth Observation sensors and instruments including future concepts being proposed, developed, tested, or calibrated, and those in operations for all aspects of Earth observation. Driven by user and scientific requirements, particular emphasis is on instrument systems that make innovative measurements and deliver improved performance for science, operational or commercial applications. Second focus is on technologies for instruments, spacecraft and missions which enable innovation and advancement in sensor observations performance and capability. Capability advancement could be in coverage, resolution, onboard features such as processing, autonomy, adjustability/ adaptability, user commanding, or other technology that provides or is intended to provide improved utility to targeted and other users.
