Spatial resolution

Pixel size or IFOV
1, 10, and 30m resolutions
Spectral Resolution

Dimension and number of specific wavelength intervals in the EM
spectrum to which a sensor is sensitive
Temporal Resolution

How often the same area is recorded.

Ie. 16 days for Landsat
Radiometric Resolution

Sensitivity of the instrument

6 bit (MSS), 64 levels
