In the broadest sense, remote sensing is the measurement or acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object. In practice, remote sensing is the utilization at a distance (as from aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, or ship) of any device for gathering information about the environment. Thus an aircraft taking photographs, Earth observation and Weather satellites, monitoring of a fetus in the womb via ultrasound, and space probes are all examples of remote sensing. In modern usage, the term generally refers to techniques involving the use of instruments aboard aircraft and spacecraft rather than other fields which are considered to be under medical imaging or photogrammetry.
While all astronomy could be considered remote sensing (in fact, extremely remote sensing) the term "remote sensing" is normally only applied to terrestrial observations.
Data acquisition techniques
Data may be acquired through a variety of devices depending upon the object or phenomena being observed. Most remote sensing techniques make use of emitted or reflected electromagnetic radiation of the object of interest in a certain frequency domain (infrared, visible light, microwaves). This is possible due to the fact that the examined objects (plants, houses, water surfaces, air masses ...) reflect or emit radiation in different wavelengths and in different intensity according to their current condition. Some remote sensing systems use sound waves in a similar way, and others measure variations in gravitational or magnetic fields. More on [ Remote sensing ]

Okay.. The CA grade is in for remote sensing. Now I am thinking if I should study for it and not S/U. But I have no more slots for this mod!
