Abstract

The adoption of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for environmental monitoring is currently considered one of the most challenging applications for this emerging technology. Their features like low cost, flexibility, fault tolerance, high sensing fidelity, creating many new and exciting applications for remote sensing and space industry. In this paper, a state-of-art survey clearly shows the recent developments, applications, and challenges in the field of WSNs within the domain of remote sensing and space industry.
