Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A satellite imaging system that beams electromagnetic energy at the surface and then records the energy that is reflected is classified as an active system. Passive systems rely solely on recording the electromagnetic energy naturally emitted or reflected by the surface. Photographic and holographic systems use different types of technology to capture images and are not specifically related to satellite imaging systems.
