Description	This chapter outlines the author engagements with the digital image that is produced by satellite remote sensing technologies – multispectral images that have become the backbone of a huge industry in natural resources management in India. It shares some insights from an ethnography of the practice of using satellite images for land use management and rural development. In a research project that was investigating land use change over two decades, satellite images presented significant power to see power to see change in a landscape and to pinpoint change at the level of a pixel. One of the biggest gaps of digital spatial data in the Indian spatial technology industry has been the availability of spatially accurate cadastral maps in digital format. M.D. Turner provides a detailed critique of the 'uneven adoption' of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems technologies in the hands of environmental experts in the Sahelian landscape of Africa.
