I think they mean observations recorded by satellites or images taken by them (e.g. MESSENGER, Venera 13/14). This might not be specific to "satellite measurements and imagery," but it might include a certain spacecraft measuring the percentages of a certain element in the atmosphere, for example.

They also want you to be familiar with various types of satellite imaging and remote sensing, such as radar, spectrometry, laser altimetry, etc. For example, on a test, you may need to know which spacecraft took the image and what instrument/method was used to take it.

Well, I won't be doing Solar System this year, but I had learned a lot from this event.

What are example questions that have been created towards imaging? I just want examples.

Haven't had very many yet. There have been a few asking about what spacecraft took an image, or when an image was taken. It would be useful to know a little about maps, I think. I will update you later with more information.

Does anyone know how to identify craters and the such; I've tried memorizing their appearances, but I just tried a practiced test and failrd that portion; all craters look fundamentally alike. Doesn't anyone have any tips? Thanks!
