The more sophisticated mission gets, the more advanced sensors have to be. Sensors are widely used in every stage of a space mission, at launch, during cruise, insertion into orbit, descent, surface operations, ascent and so forth.
However, while regular sensors (yet with advanced capabilities) can still be used for most of those operations, some are not do-able without breakthrough technology. LIDAR for example is no longer a breakthrough technology on Earth and gets more and more common. However, a potential space use involve a lot of studies and technology maturation that is undertaken within this technology domain.
