Abstract
There has been immense development in the field of agriculture during the last two decades, and one of the major areas of the technologies which have made it possible is the remote sensing technologies. The images from the satellites have proved to be a boon in the precision agriculture and has increased the efficiency of the production as well as aided the farmers with the help of machine learning and big data vision to make the right decision at the right time. This chapter reviews the role of the satellites and how big data analysis can give amazing results and hence contribute to the national economy. Further the advantages and disadvantages along with the challenges that lie ahead are discussed and how the future of these technologies will help the agricultural sector.
