[PS2-2-3] Spaceborne platforms and systems

Spaceborne platforms and systems are present at a great height from the earth surface. The altitude of platforms range from few hundred kilometers to several thousand kilometers. A large area can be captured in a single scene depending on altitude of sensor. The platforms can have different characteristics.
