Satellite Agricultural Remote Sensing System

Precision agriculture is the use of technology to enable better decision making and optimized use of resources for farming. In this regard, satellites are an effective way to observe large plots of crop. However, typical satellites are expensive to build and launch, and have lengthy development periods. On the other hand, nanosatellites are increasing in popularity due to the use of commercial components and “fly-learn-refly” approach which lower cost and speed up development.
