Description
As amazing as the human sensory organs are, they have natural limitations governed by our nervous system’s ability to receive, interpret and analyze a particular phenomenon. Sensors in general are an extension to the human capability to obtain further knowledge of a given phenomenon. Optics allow us to see beyond the visible spectrum of light and to see objects at great distances. Antennas allow us to listen to deep space. Where our sense of smell leaves off, vapor chemistry takes over. Sensors use these echnological advances to receive and analyze phenomena. Putting these sensors in space expands the scope of our knowledge of Earth, the atmosphere, other terrestrial bodies and on into space far beyond anything the human senses could ever attain alone.
