Earth Observation and Meteorological Satellite System
Operational remote sensing services were initiated with the launch and commissioning of IRS-1A, the first operational Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) Satellite, in the year 1988. Currently, the remote sensing satellites that are operational in orbit are: Resourcesat-2, Resourcesat-2A, Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2/2A/2B, RISAT-1, RISAT-2, Oceansat-2, Megha-Tropiques, SARAL, Cartosat-2 Series Satellite, and SCATSAT-1. Though Resourcesat-1, Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2, RISAT-2, Oceansat-2, satellites have completed their design mission life in orbit; these satellites continue to provide imaging services for the remote sensing user community. Various instruments onboard these satellites provide data in varied spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions to cater to different user requirements in the ....
