Multispectral scanners (MSS) are sensors that detect emitted and reflected energy electrically, rather than photographically, with the electric signal being converted to digital form for image processing and interpretation.
Multispectral scanners can image from UV through the thermal IR band. The Near Infrared portion of the EM (.7 1.3 micrometers) is sensitive to leaf structure. The greatest amount of EM energy reflected the plants is in the Near IR.

MSSMultispectral scanner. An instrument on some satellites used for imaging the earth. An MSS image will have data recorded by the scanner from three or more bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Landsat uses two types of sensors to monitor the Earth: Thematic Mapper and Multispectral Scanner. See the following website for more information - Landsat Program.
imagery Visible representation of objects and (or) phenomena as sensed or detected by cameras, infrared and multispectral scanners, radar, and photometers.
In August 1998, NASA contracted EarthSat to produce Landsat GeoCover (Geocover 2000 in World Wind) - a positionally accurate orthorectified Landsat Thematic Mapper and Multispectral Scanner imagery covering the majority of the Earth's land mass.
The primary sensor aboard Landsats 1, 2, and 3 was the multispectral scanner (MSS).
Landsat Thematic Mapper or Multispectral Scanner, by clicking on nodes in the tree to open their subtrees, eventually reaching leaves containing these collections.
