The Remote sensing technology development laboratory has a set of
remote sensing instruments allowing measurements in an indoor and controlled environment, including a darkroom with all the necessary equipment to calibrate measuring devices.
These instruments cover the range of solar (visible, near-infrared and short-wave infrared), thermal and microwave electromagnetic radiation. It allows the assembly of experiments in a controlled environment on the optical, thermal and microwave properties of natural or artificial materials on the earth’s surface.
