Claim:
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, and 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, and 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 about a first axis to cause the vehicle to be propelled in movement; wherein a first light transmitter of the first set of one or more light transmitters is arranged relative to a first mirror of the first plurality of mirrors in order to reflect light emissions from the first light transmitter off of the first mirror at a first angle relative to the first axis; wherein the first light transmitter is arranged relative to a second mirror of the first plurality of mirrors in order to reflect light emissions from the first light transmitter off of the second mirror at a second angle relative to the first axis, the first angle being different than the second angle.
