1. A remote sensing system coupled to a vehicle, the remote sensing system comprising:
- a first plurality of mirrors coupled to a first propulsion portion of the vehicle;
a first set of one or more light transmitters, coupled to a first fixed portion of the vehicle, configured to emit light at the first plurality of mirrors to be reflected to a first measuring area; and
a first set of one or more light receivers, coupled to the first fixed portion of the vehicle, configured to receive portions of the emitted light reflected from the first measuring area,wherein the first propulsion portion of the vehicle is a portion of the vehicle that rotates in order to cause the vehicle to be propelled in movement.
