Abstract

NASA has a long history of collecting and analyzing data (e.g. images, spectrometry) of a multitude of planetary bodies in the solar system obtained through remote sensing via an array of instrumentation on spacecraft. The nature of the observations is highly dependent on the scientific goals and objectives of the mission, but certain technologies and instruments have been flown on multiple missions. In this presentation, we will discuss several different types of instruments and provide examples of the types of measurements made for selected missions to highlight both the usefulness and limitations of remotely sensed data in understanding various aspects of planetary science.
