Environmental monitoring, earth-resource mapping, and military systems require broad-area imaging at high resolutions. Often, this imagery must be acquired at night or during inclement weather. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides such a capability. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems take advantage of the long-range propagation characteristics of radar signals and the complex information processing capability of modern digital electronics to provide high resolution imagery.
Since visible imagery is produced by reflected sunlight (radiation), it is only available during daylight. One of the major advantages of visible imagery is that it has a higher resolution (about 0.6 miles) than IR images (about 2.5 miles), so you can distinguish smaller features with VIS imagery.n the infrared (IR) channel, the satellite senses energy as heat. The earths surface absorbs about half of the incoming solar energy. Clouds and the atmosphere absorb a much smaller amount. The earths surface, clouds, and the atmosphere then re-emit part of this absorbed solar energy as heat.
