It carried an 8 Band Ocean Color Monitor with improvements in Spectral Bands of 6 and 7. Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) The OCM is an 8-band multi-spectral camera operating in the visible-Near IR spectral range. This camera provides an instantaneous Geometric Field of View of 360 m covering a swath of 1420 km. This wide swath enables the OCM to provide a repetivity of two days for any given area.

  • Remote Sensing in India
    Remote Sensing in India India’s Remote Sensing starts following the successful demonstration flights of Bhaskara-1 and Bhaskara-2 satellites launched in 1979 and 1981, respectively, with the development of indigenous Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite program. Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite system was commissioned with the launch of IRS-1A, in 1988. With many satellites in operation, IRS is the largest civilian remote sensing satellite constellation in the world providing imageries in a variety of spatial resolutions, spectral bands and swaths. Data from Indian Remote Sensing satellites are used for various applications of resources survey and management under the National Natural Resources Management System (NNRMS in following: Pre harvest crop area and production estimation of major crops. Drought/irrigation monitoring and assessment based on vegetation condition. Flood risk zone mapping and flood damage assessment. Hydro-geomorphologic maps for locating underground water resources for drilling well. Snow-melt run-off estimates for planning water use in downstream projects. Land use and land cover mapping.

  • Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) Onboard OCEANSAT-2 Mission
    Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) onboard OCEANSAT-2 mission Prakash Chauhan and Rangnath Navalgund Space Applications Centre, (ISRO), Ahemdabad-380015, India 1.0 Introduction Space borne ocean-colour remote sensing has already been established as a tool to provide quantitative information on the sea water constituents. Ocean-colour data from the first Indian ocean observation satellite OCEANSAT-1 was extensively used for various societal and scientific applications like Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) identification, estimation of primary productivity, algal bloom detection and studying the coastal processes. OCEANSAT-2 spacecraft of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the second satellite in ocean series, which was successfully launched on September 23, 2009 from Shriharikota by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)-C14 rocket. The OCEANSAT-2 satellite carried three main instruments namely i) Ku band pencil beam scatterometer, ii) modified Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) and iii) Radio Occultation Sounder of Atmosphere (ROSA) instrument of Italian Space Agency (ASI). The OCEANSAT-2 OCM is mainly designed to provide continuity to the OCEANSAT-1 OCM instrument and to obtain quantitative information of ocean-colour variables e.g. chlorophyll-a concentration, vertical diffuse attenuation of the light, (Kd) and total suspended matter (TSM) concentration in coastal waters, apart from ocean-colour information OCM data will also be useful for studying the aerosol transport and terrestrial bio-sphere. OCEANSAT-2 OCM is almost identical to OCEANSAT-1 OCM, however central wavelength of two spectral bands i.e. band 6 and 7 have been shifted. The spectral band 6, which was located at 670 nm in OCEANSAT-1 OCM has now been shifted to 620 nm for improved quantification of suspended sediments.

  • Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)
    Topic: Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) Course: Remote Sensing and GIS (CC-11) M.A. Geography (Sem.-3) By Dr. Md. Nazim Professor, Department of Geography Patna College, Patna University Lecture-5 Concept: India's remote sensing program was developed with the idea of applying space technologies for the benefit of human kind and the development of the country. The program involved the development of three principal capabilities. The first was to design, build and launch satellites to a sun synchronous orbit. The second was to establish and operate ground stations for spacecraft control, data transfer along with data processing and archival. The third was to use the data obtained for various applications on the ground. India demonstrated the ability of remote sensing for societal application by detecting coconut root-wilt disease from a helicopter mounted multispectral camera in 1970. This was followed by flying two experimental satellites, Bhaskara-1 in 1979 and Bhaskara-2 in 1981. These satellites carried optical and microwave payloads. India's remote sensing programme under the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) started off in 1988 with the IRS-1A, the first of the series of indigenous state-of-art operating remote sensing satellites, which was successfully launched into a polar sun-synchronous orbit on March 17, 1988 from the Soviet Cosmodrome at Baikonur. It has sensors like LISS-I which had a spatial resolution of 72.5 meters with a swath of 148 km on ground. LISS-II had two separate imaging sensors, LISS-II A and LISS-II B, with spatial resolution of 36.25 meters each and mounted on the spacecraft in such a way to provide a composite swath of 146.98 km on ground.

  • Electro-Optical Imaging Requirements
    Electro-Optical Imaging Requirements Sensors Development Area of SAC/ISRO has designed and developed electro-optical payloads for earth observation and planetary missions for ISRO’s satellite program. These include IRS and INSAT series of satellites catering to land and water utilization, vegetation, forestry, oceanography, meteorology, etc. They provide imagery with different resolutions catering to the user needs. Spatial resolution has improved from nearly a kilometre to better than a meter in the current and future systems. Similarly, spectral resolution has increased from few tens of nanometres (nm) & few bands in panchromatic/multi-spectral sensors to a few nm and large number of bands in hyper-spectral sensors. The sensors are custom designed and optimised for the user applications. IRS-1C/1D and subsequently Resourcesat-1/2 carried a set of three sensors optimised for agricultural applications. Cartosat-1 carrying fore and aft cameras provides stereoscopic view of the land surface. High resolution imagery for cartography is provided by Cartosat-2 Series of payloads. Oceansat-1/2 satellites equipped with high temporal resolution ocean colour sensors are providing data useful for mapping phytoplankton in the oceans and consequent identification of potential fishing zones (PFZs). Very High Resolution Radiometers (VHRR) are developed and flown onboard METSAT (Kalpana) and INSAT-3D/3DR missions to provide cloud motion vectors and atmospheric parameters. Temperature and humidity sounder payload are also flown on INSAT-3D/3DR. Planetary sensors include optical cameras onboard Chandrayaan-1 and Mars Orbiter Mission and those planned for forthcoming Chandrayaan-2. Sensors are also flown on airborne platforms for generating site-specific data for scientific studies and generating spectral and spatial signatures of ground features.
