The platforms that harbor remote sensing sensors (eg. cameras) are called remote sensing platforms. In earlier days, during military reconnaissance, pigeons attached with cameras were made to fly over areas of interest. In this case the platform is the bird.
Balloons, airplanes and satellites that carry remote sensing sensors are examples of remote sensing platforms.

In remote sensing, aircraft or satellites provide the platforms for sensing applications. The primary difference is that in the remote sensing methods, a lot more area can becovered in a very short period of time than with ground-based methods. There are details that cannot be resolved by the remote methods that can be determined on the ground, but there are trade offs with the two methods of investigation. More and more sophisticated way of "looking" at the ground from remote platforms continue to be developed. The location of South American temples hidden in the jungle is just one example of the capability of the remote platform.

Remote Sensing Center was created in 2006-09.
Remote sensing transmits energy that allows an image to be formed. Passive remote sensing collects energy that is reflected or emitted from a surface.
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing was created in 1966.
Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite was created in 2011.
Explain how the remote sensing satellites examined the earth from the space?
