Remote sensing activities from satellite are important aspect togain information about earth surface, thus has important significance on military, economic and geology fields. After 1962, the term remote sensing became popular and typically refers     to non-intrusive observation of the Earth using electromagnetic waves from a platform some distance away from the object of study. Remote sensing implies a measurement made by some indirect or “remote” means rather than by a contact sensor. Remote sensing platform of satellite serves the sensing by using sensors. There are two types of sensors active and passive sensors. This article reviews about the sensors which are used for remote sensing of earth from satellite. This article analyses the sensors for sensing purpose and for attitude control of the satellite.

The paper introduces a non-profit program designed to improve the efficiency in the study of the Earth’s surface. The program is designed to build the orbit of an Earth remote sensing satellite, to evaluate the plan and the possibilities of surveying a region of interest on the Earth's surface. Using this program, the user can visualize the orbit of any available commercial Earth remote sensing satellite in the required period of time, evaluate and plan a survey of the certain area by a specific spacecraft. The computational part of the program is based on the SGP4 model, which uses publicly available TLE data for Earth remote sensing satellites, on spherical trigonometry formulas and heuristic methods of computational shortcut. The program is implemented as a web application in the programming languages JavaScript and PHP using the Bootstrap, JQuery and Cesium libraries.
