Scientific publications and the number of students, masters and doctors are ways of evaluating an academic system and, in these areas Brazil is growing strong. For this reason, initiatives that tend to facilitate or assist, even minimally, some development in the scientific literature in the English language may interfere positively in the impact factor of Brazilian science. It is precisely at this point that the theories of Translation and Terminology convey. Admittedly, the approach of these two universes articulates a complementary relationship, which currently seems to be necessary to a good technical-scientific practice. These aspects motivated us to conduct this research about translation of languages for specific purposes. The remote sensing was choose because it is a technology for capturing images and data from the energy reflected by Earth’s surface using optical-electronic sensors. This study aims to identify, through keyness, the terms and expressions present in this literature in English and then search their equivalents or correspondents in Portuguese in order to create a bilingual glossary English  Portuguese with the terms, fixed and semifixed expressions more recurrent in remote sensing literature. To develop this research, we rely on the theory of the Corpus-Based Translation Studies. This relatively recent theoretical-methodological approach has allowed innovative investigations about language in large corpora with the help of electronic tools. This research methodology was proposed by Baker (1993, 1995, 1996) and, in Brazil, we highlight the research conducted by Camargo (2004, 2005, 2007). Besides these, the theoreticalmethodological framework is also composed of Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA 2004, 2009; TOGNINI-BONELLI, 2001) and Terminology (BARROS, 2004; KRIEGER; FINATTO, 2004). The data processing is done with the program WordSmith Tools version 6.0. From this interdisciplinary approach and with the ...
