Multispectral Scanner

The Multispectral Scanner (MSS) is one of the Earth's observing sensors introduced in the Landsat program. A Multispectral Scanner was placed aboard each of the first five Landsat satellites.[1]

MSS Technical Specifications

Sensor type Spatial Resolution Spectral Range Number of Bands Temporal Resolution Image Size Swath
opto-mechanical 68 m X 83 m (or 57 m) 0.5 - 1.1 µm 4, 5 (Landsat 3 only) 18 days (L1-L3), 16 days (L4 & L5) 185 km X 185 km 185 km

gollark: When I was working on an unrelated thing I found a bunch of plausibly-workable papers about indoor localization using ultrasound.
gollark: You can also get these very accurate UWB position sensor things, or theoretically use ultrasound.
gollark: ANTARCTIC OBSCURITY is theoretically capable of localization if you have multiple receivers with either very accurate synchronized clocks (doubtful) or (if you don't mind noise and/or manual data gathering) signal strength readings.
gollark: RFID is generally rather short-range, so no.
gollark: Computer vision is hard, RFID tags would be easier.
