This paper reviews the evolution and advancement of satellite remote sensing. The history of satellite remote sensing began with the Television and Infrared Observation Satellite launched by the U.S.A in 1960s and was followed by many Earth observation satellites. We present the physical principle of observation from space as well as recent Earth observing data. We discuss the characteristics and tendencies of rapid advances in satellite remote sensing. In the near future extensive Earth observation data will be available to the Earth's scientific community. We emphasize that scientists should retrieve crucial information on global change from advanced Earth observation data.
