Multispectral scanner (MSS)

A Multispectral Scanner (MSS) is a remote sensing instrument used in satellites and aircraft to collect images of Earth's surface across different wavelengths of light, including visible and non-visible spectra. It captures data in multiple spectral bands, allowing analysts to identify and analyze features like vegetation, water, and land use more accurately than standard cameras. MSS helps in environmental monitoring, agriculture, and resource management by providing detailed, multi-layered images that reveal information not visible to the naked eye.
