List of Indian Earth Observation Satellites:
ResourceSat-1
CartoSat-1
CartoSat-2
ResourceSat-1 (IRS-P6)
The main features of this satellite are listed below:
It has a circular polar Sun synchronous orbit
Its orbit height is 821 km at an inclination of 98.76
Its orbital period is 101.35 minutes and it performs 14 orbits per day
Its repetivity (LISS-3) is 24 days and revisit (AWiFS) is 5 days
Its 3-axis body is stabilized using reaction wheels, magnetic torquers and hydrazine thrusters
It is powered by a solar array generating 1250 W (at End of Life) using two 24 Ah Ni-Cd batteries
Its mission life is 5 to 7 years
The IRS-P6 has better radiometric resolution, red instead of pan-chromatic band and only one CCD array leading to better internal geometry
It is suitable for mapping and mobile cell phone planning
The LISS-IV camera can be operated in either monochromatic or multi-spectral mode
CartoSat-1
The main features of this satellite are listed below:
It has a circular polar Sun synchronous orbit
Its orbit height is 618 km at an orbit inclination of 98.87
Its orbit period is 97 minutes and it performs 15 orbits per day
Its 3-axis body is stabilized using reaction wheels, magnetic torquers and hydrazine thrusters
It is powered by a 5 sq. km solar array generating 1100 W (at EOL) using 24 Ah Ni-Cd batteries
Its mission life is 5 to 7 years
CartoSat has two panchromatic cameras for in-flight stereo viewing and this stereo data is provided to ground stations in real time
Its revisit capability is 5 days
Its swath is 27.5 km
It is capable of providing DEMs of approximately 4m elevation
CartoSat-2
The main features of this satellite are listed below:
Its orbit height is 630 km at an inclination of 97.91
Its orbit period is 97.4 minutes and it completes 14 orbits per day
Its revisit is 4 days and repetivity is 310 days
Its 3-axis body is stabilized using reaction wheels, magnetic torquers and hydrazine thrusters
It is powered by two 18Ah Ni-Cd batteries that generate 900 W using solar power
Its operational life is 5 years.
Its resolution is 0.81m and swath is about 9.6 km
Future IRS missions are:
ResourceSat-2 that is identical to ResourceSat-1 with a few sensor enhancements
ResourceSat-3 having increased resolution and more spectral bands along with addition of new sensors with 25 km swath
ResourceSat-4 adds new sensors with 12.5 km swath based on 500m optics
CartoSat series of satellites with increased resolution and more spectral bands
