Abstract
Earth observation satellites are an essential tool for monitoring and understanding the Earth’s environment, weather patterns, and natural resources. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched several earth observation satellites over the years, contributing significantly to this field. ISRO’s earth observation satellites include the Resourcesat series, Oceansat, Cartosat, and ScatSat. These satellites are equipped with various sensors and instruments, such as multispectral cameras, microwave radiometers, and scatterometers, which provide high-resolution images and data of the Earth’s surface. The Resourcesat series, launched in 2003, 2007, and 2011, are dedicated to resource monitoring and management. They provide high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface, which are used for agricultural crop monitoring, soil moisture estimation, and natural resource management. Oceansat, launched in 2009, is designed to study the ocean-atmosphere interaction and the marine ecosystem. It provides data on sea surface temperature, ocean color, and wind speed, which are essential for weather forecasting, climate studies, and marine resource management. Cartosat, launched in 2005, 2007, 2011, and 2018, is a series of high-resolution imaging satellites. They provide high- resolution images of the Earth’s surface, which are used for cartographic applications, urban planning, and infrastructure development. ScatSat, launched in 2016, is a scatterometer satellite that provides data on wind speed and direction over the ocean. It is used for weather forecasting, cyclone tracking, and oceanographic studies. ISRO’s earth observation satellites have significantly contributed to the field of earth observation and remote sensing. They have provided valuable data and images for various applications, including weather forecasting, climate studies, natural resource management, and urban planning. The success of ISRO’s earth observation satellites has established India as a significant player in the global space industry.
Keywords: Earth observation satellites, ISRO, Resourcesat, Oceansat, Cartosat, ScatSat, remote sensing, weather forecasting, climate studies, natural resource management, urban planning.
