polar satellite
geostationary satellite
pop - up archival tag
satellite relay data logger (srdl)
remote sensing
pixel

Explanation:

• Polar satellite: A satellite that orbits the Earth passing over the polar regions, providing global coverage. Can be remembered as a 'pole - crossing' satellite.
• Geostationary satellite: A satellite that remains fixed above a particular point on the Earth's equator due to its orbital period matching the Earth's rotation. Think of it as a'station - like' satellite above one spot.
• Pop - up archival tag: A device attached to marine animals that records data and then pops up to the surface to transmit data. Remember it as a 'popping - up data - sender'.
• Satellite relay data logger (SRDL): A device that records data and relays it via satellite. Consider it as a 'data - recorder and satellite - relayer'.
• Remote sensing: The acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact. Recall it as 'non - contact information - gathering'.
• Pixel: The smallest addressable element in a digital image or video display. Think of it as the 'building - block' of digital images.
