relative spectral response (RSR)
Aerospace; Satellites
The relative spectral transmittance as a function of wavelength. Relative spectral response (RSR) measurements are assumed to be constant for all detectors covered by a common ...
spectral response
Aerospace; Satellites
The response of a material as a function of wavelength to incident electromagnetic energy, particularly in terms of the measurable energy reflected from and emitted by the ...
temporal resolution
Aerospace; Satellites
the revisit time of a satellite over a given geographic location. The revisit time for Landsat 4, 5, and 7 is 16 days. For Landsat 1, 2, and 3 it was 18 days.
roll
Aerospace; Satellites
The rotation of a spacecraft about its longitudinal axis (in the along-track direction) so as to cause a side-up or side-down attitude. The roll axis is referred to as the "y" ...
yaw
Aerospace; Satellites
The rotation of a spacecraft about its vertical axis so as to cause the spacecraft's longitudinal axis to deviate left or right from the direction of flight. The yaw axis is ...
pitch
Aerospace; Satellites
The rotation of a spacecraft about the horizontal axis normal to its longitudinal axis (in the along-track direction) so as to cause a nose-up or nose-down, attitude. The pitch ...
telemetry
Aerospace; Satellites
The science of measuring a quantity or quantities, transmitting the measured value to a distant station, and there interpreting, indicating, or recording the quantities measured. ...
