Learn how the science of remote sensing helps to increase our understanding of atmospheric and oceanic processes on Earth. In this STEMonstration, NASA astronaut Michael Barratt explores two remote sensors installed on the space station: the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) and Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation (GEDI). Discover how astronauts and scientific tools on the International Space Station capture critical data and imagery for a variety of Earth science applications. Students can build and experiment with their own sensors using the corresponding classroom connection.
