Resourcesat-2
Encyclopedia
Resourcesat-2 is a follow on mission to Resourcesat-1
and and the eighteenth Remote Sensing satellite built by ISRO.RESOURCESAT-2 is intended to continue the remote sensing data services to global users provided by RESOURCESAT-1, and to provide data with enhanced multispectral and spatial coverage as well. Compared to Resourcesat-1, LISS-4 multispectral swath has been enhanced from 23 km to 70 km based on user needs. Suitable changes including miniaturization in payload electronics have been incorporated in Resourcesat-2. Resourcesat-2 along with Youthsat
and X-Sat
(Singapore) was launched on PSLV-C16 on 20 April 2011.
The satellite contains 3 multispectral cameras onboard. (1) Advanced Wide-Field Sensor (AWiFS) with 56 meter spatial resolution, (2) the Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor (LISS-III) with 23.5 meter spatial resolution and ((3) LISS-IV Camera with 5.8 meter spatial resolution.
RESOURCESAT-1
RESOURCESAT-1 is an advanced remote sensing satellite built by Indian Space Research Organization. The tenth satellite of ISRO in IRS series, RESOURCESAT-1 is intended to not only continue the remote sensing data services provided by IRS-1C and IRS-1D, both of which have far outlived their...
