  • Abstract
    Remote sensing used to assess geophysical parameters on Earth is increasingly exploited and necessary for sustainable human life on Earth. A goal of using satellites to monitor changes and characteristics of Earth´s surfaces is to further understanding of the planet and its systems, as well as understanding of how humans interact with and change the environment. Mostly underexploited, biomass detection via active radar remote sensing could provide a more thorough and in depth analysis of Earth. Upcoming NASA Earth monitoring satellites cover a wide range of science products and applications, but little influence is put on the possibility of harnessing data from biomass reaction to radar pulse. In addition to the benefit of radar remote sensing in observing large areas at once, an added ability of transmitting detected frequencies in nearreal- time has potential to provide countless advantages. Direct Broadcast increases possibilities and practical uses for collected data.
