- Learning objectives:
  
  explain and assess the impact of satellite characteristics such as orbits and sensors on satisfying application requirements
  
  discuss the usability of imagery from a spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal resolutions perspective
  
  be able to access and navigate imagery portals with a focus an Sentinel and Landsat
  
  access and use imagery from these portals and through other spatial data infrastructures
  
  understand the relevance of image data characteristics in generic terms, in order to properly handle visualisation and analysis tools
