Remote Sensing Technicians

Remote sensing technicians work with sophisticated imaging technologies to capture and analyze data about Earth's surface from aircraft, satellites, and drones. They spend their days preparing equipment for data collection missions, calibrating sensors and cameras, and processing the imagery and information gathered from these flights. Much of their work takes place in office settings where they use specialized software to interpret satellite images, create detailed maps, and identify patterns or changes in landscapes, vegetation, water bodies, and urban areas.
