Sensors aboard the Landsat satellites were built in a "whisk broom"(across track) configuration. In a whisk broom sensor, a mirror scans across the satellite's path, reflecting light into a single detector which collects data one pixel at a time. The moving parts make this type of sensor expensive and more prone to wearing out. 7, record 9, English, - across%2Dtrack%20scanning
